makefile to compile all cpp files in all subdirs

My repository looks like this:

./src/ModuleA/ModuleA.cpp
./src/ModuleA/ModuleA.h
./src/foo/ModuleB.cpp
./src/foo/ModuleB.h
./src/bar/ModuleC.cpp
./src/bar/ModuleC.h
<A few more modules>

./obj
./dep
./makefile

I want to create a makefile that will create a depndency file (.d) for each .cpp file into ./dep and then compile each of these .cpp file into an obj in ./obj

I don't want to state the name and path of the modules explicitly - just to take all of the directories in ./src and find the cpp file in each one and create a target rule for it.

Edit: I'm using windows.

Working minimalist Makefile under Windows:

SRC         :=  $(patsubst $(shell CHDIR )\\%.cpp,%.cpp,$(shell DIR *.cpp /S /B))
OBJ         :=  $(addprefix obj\, $(SRC:.cpp=.o))
DEP         :=  $(addprefix dep\, $(SRC:.cpp=.d))
CPPFLAGS    =   -MMD -MP -MF dep\$(<:.cpp=.d)

all: $(OBJ)

obj\\%.o: %.cpp
    @IF NOT EXIST obj\$(<D) MKDIR obj\$(<D)
    @IF NOT EXIST dep\$(<D) MKDIR dep\$(<D)
    $(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<

-include $(DEP)

Subdirectories are created into obj and dep to avoid clashes if two files share the same filename but are in different subdirectories. It also avoid having source files in subdirectories being recompiled everytime make is invoked.

UPDATE: A more powerful version

WINDOWS SHELL (Vista and newer because of FORFILE command)

SRCDIR := .
OBJDIR := obj
DEPDIR := dep

SRCS     := $(shell FORFILES /P $(SRCDIR) /S /M *.cpp /C "CMD /C ECHO @relpath")
SRCS     := $(patsubst ".\\%",$(SRCDIR)\\%,$(SRCS))
OBJS     := $(SRCS:$(SRCDIR)\\%.cpp=$(OBJDIR)\\%.o)
DEPS     := $(SRCS:$(SRCDIR)\\%.cpp=$(DEPDIR)\\%.d)
TREE     := $(patsubst %\,%,$(dir $(OBJS)))
CPPFLAGS  = -MMD -MP -MF $(<:$(SRCDIR)\\%.cpp=$(DEPDIR)\\%.d)

.PHONY: all clean

all: $(OBJS)

.SECONDEXPANSION:
$(OBJDIR)\\%.o: $(SRCDIR)\%.cpp | $$(@D)
    $(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<

$(TREE): %:
    MKDIR $@
    MKDIR $(@:$(OBJDIR)%=$(DEPDIR)%)

clean:
    IF EXIST $(OBJDIR) RMDIR /S /Q $(OBJDIR)
    IF EXIST $(DEPDIR) RMDIR /S /Q $(DEPDIR)

ifeq "$(MAKECMDGOALS)" ""
-include $(DEPS)
endif

UNIX SHELL

SRCDIR := .
OBJDIR := obj
DEPDIR := dep

SRCS     := $(shell find $(SRCDIR) -name "*.cpp")
OBJS     := $(SRCS:$(SRCDIR)/%.cpp=$(OBJDIR)/%.o)
DEPS     := $(SRCS:$(SRCDIR)/%.cpp=$(DEPDIR)/%.d)
TREE     := $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(OBJS)))
CPPFLAGS  = -MMD -MP -MF $(@:$(OBJDIR)/%.o=$(DEPDIR)/%.d)

.PHONY: all clean

all: $(OBJS)

.SECONDEXPANSION:
$(OBJDIR)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp | $$(@D)
    $(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<

$(TREE): %:
    mkdir -p $@
    mkdir -p $(@:$(OBJDIR)%=$(DEPDIR)%)

clean:
    $(RM) -r $(OBJDIR) $(DEPDIR)

ifeq "$(MAKECMDGOALS)" ""
-include $(DEPS)
endif

One of the simplest makefiles you can do is as follows:

OBJDIR   = .srcobjs

SRCS    := $(shell find . -name '*.cpp')
SRCDIRS := $(shell find . -name '*.cpp' -exec dirname {} \; | uniq)
OBJS    := $(patsubst %.cpp,$(OBJDIR)/%.o,$(SRCS))
DEPS    := $(patsubst %.cpp,$(OBJDIR)/%.d,$(SRCS))

DEBUG    = -g
INCLUDES = -I./Include
CXXFLAGS = $(DEBUG) -Wall -pedantic $(INCLUDES) -c

DEPENDS  = -MT $@ -MD -MP -MF $(subst .o,.d,$@)

It will find all the .cpp files and compile them.
