how to generate makefile for a C source file

I've never tried to do this before so this is actually my first time to cross compile a C program.

I have a main.c code file and need to create a makefile for it so i can cross compile this file. This c file has a dependancy curl library. When I compile it in xcode by adding a library, it builds fine. However,i still need to create a makefile for the cross compiling. Can I generate that makefile with xcode? If so, can you please provide some step to step guidance or do i need to use another tool to generate it?

Alternative approach

You can use CMake for this task. First of all take a look at this tutorial, that explains CMake basics. Then take a look at toolchain documentation.

Take a look at this post too.

Btw OpenWrt has also support for CMake based projects, just look at uci and libubox packages.
