Creating a makefile for g++ compiler

I have some code that everytime I want to compile I have to do the following command in the linux shell (just an example):

$g++ -I. -I$SYSTEMC_HOME/include -L. -L$SYSTEMC_HOME/lib-linux64 -o sim helloworld.cpp -lsystemc -lm

In this example my source file is helloworld.cpp and I want it to be compiled in a folder called sim in the same folder where the source file is.

How can I automate this process using make or makefile. Also having the make clean option to remove the created folder if called?

If you rename your cpp file to sim.cpp this is probably the simplest Makefile

CPPFLAGS := -I. -I$(SYSTEMC_HOME)/include
LDFLAGS  := -L. -L$(SYSTEMC_HOME)/lib-linux64
LDLIBS   := -lsystemc -lm

sim:

.PHONY: clean
clean: ; $(RM) sim

The implicit rules should handle everything else for you

Easy

%.o: %.cpp
     g++ $(YOUR_CXX_FLAGS_HERE) -c $< -o $@

$(YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE): $(YOUR_OBJECTS_HERE)
     g++ $(SOME_LDFLAGS_HERE) $^ -o $@

clean:
     rm $(YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE) $(YOUR_OBJECTS_HERE)

.PHONY: clean

There are good tutorials outthere, like this one.
