Can we write a makefile which is able to create debug/ release build . The user will give choice which one should be made.

  • Yes of course you can. Just have two targets, one for release and one for debug. – kaylum Mar 19 '21 at 10:19

  • have a look at https://github.com/cppfw/prorab it provides creating as many configs as you want, building each of them in separate directory – igagis Mar 19 '21 at 22:43

you can use as @kaylum said and use different cflags. every target will get it's own cflags

CFLAGS1 = -ansi -pedantic-errors -Wall -Wextra -g

CFLAGS2 = -ansi -pedantic-errors -Wall -Wextra -DNDEBUG -O3
