makefile add list of header files .h with no .c

Question

I am writing the makefile of my own code and I realised that when I make the list of my source files I don't include some of them. In fact, what I do is the following:

SRCS = $(wildcard $(SRCS_DIR)*.c)
OBJS = $(SRCS:$(SRCS_DIR)%.c=$(OBJS_DIR)%.o)

and them:

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
@echo -e "\n\n\t\t*** Compiled $(TARGET) successfully! ***\n" ;
$(FL) $(LFLAGS) -o $(BUILDS_DIR)$@ \
    $(OBJS) \
    $(LIBS)
@echo -e "\n\n\t\t*** Linking $(TARGET) completed! ***\n"

$(OBJS): $(OBJS_DIR)%.o : $(SRCS_DIR)%.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) \
    -c $<\
    -o $@

However, some of these files have not the .c but only the header one, ie: ...common_functions.h common_macros.h common_variables.c common_variables.h configure.c configure.h connectivity.c connectivity.h enumerations.h error_warning_table.c error_warning_table.h estimation.c estimation.h inout.c inout.h ...structures.h

So, of course, when I change something inside of them, they are not compiled again as they are not present in the SRCS list. How can I add them into the SRCS variable? or, how can I create a COMMONS variable with only these files and then compile them?

thanks a lot in advance,

You can add the header files as dependencies of the object files. — R Sahu, Dec 12 '14 at 17:03
Ok thanks a lot! I'll read it and try to see if i can fix with it. — Stefano, Dec 12 '14 at 17:05
ok it might be what I need but I don't get how I can do it in my case... — Stefano, Dec 13 '14 at 11:37
ok, I've done it. Actually I was just missing the -MD flag on my makefile because at the end I was already using depend: $(SRCS) makedepend $(INCLUDES) $^ sorry. It was more silly than what I thought. — Stefano, Dec 13 '14 at 11:59
