Ok, i finally entered the wonderful world of Makefiles.

Excellent!

Now you need to learn the 'auto' tools - automake, autoconf, autolib, etc.

These automatically generate Makefiles from the yet simpler 'Makefile.am',
and automatically handle all the '.deps' directory stuff that you are struggling
with.

Automake builds really comprehensive Makefiles with 'clean' and 'distclean'
targets - and lots of other things to make your Makefile more robust.
