cleaning .o files

[rajkumarmadhani]

I Have one Makefile like..

OBJS: a.o b.o c.o d.o

clean:
rm -rf $(OBJS)

Here my question is, suppose if i do 'make clean' it will clean all object files, but i want to do it with out removing a.o . how can we do this.

thanks.

If you do something like this:

FILES := b.o c.o d.o
clean:
    rm -fr  $(foreach file,$(FILES),$(file))

Or just get a.o out of your OBJS?

[rajkumarmadhani]

You mean that keep the loop repeat and clean the file other than a.o.
OK... thank you.

Yes indeed

Or just like your make-file, but remove a.o out of the OBJS list.
