Taken from Portable WinAVR (“full 20090313”).

It looks Linux-friendly except:

• The part that launches debugging (i.e., the debug target–which needs work anyway as it launches simulavr unconditionally) and has no support for ddd. I'd also like to compare the gbdinit file to those made my others.
• The “Create object files directory” near the end is suspect; better to @mkdir -p $(OBJDIR) in the complies? Seems to work.
• The dependency checking include is also suspect. Seems to work.

Contemplated improvements:

• I think the template also needs a clause for adding external libs (i.e., -l{USERLIBNAME} found in -L{libPATH_TO_USER_LIBNAME}.a). Done.
• The directory that stores dependency files is hardcoded a the hidden .deps directory. Make this a macro and make in not hidden by default. Done.
• OBJDIR isn't removed by a clean. In the makefile's present form (i.e., OBJDIR defaults to '.'), this is the right thing to do; you don't want to delete '.'. Is there a way to force OBJDIR to be not be '.'? Added code to check for '.' before 'rm -rf'.

# Hey Emacs, this is a -*- makefile -*-
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# WinAVR Makefile Template written by Eric B. Weddington, Jörg Wunsch, et al.
#
# Released to the Public Domain
#
# Additional material for this makefile was written by:
# Peter Fleury
# Tim Henigan
# Colin O'Flynn
# Reiner Patommel
# Markus Pfaff
# Sander Pool
# Frederik Rouleau
# Carlos Lamas
#
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# On command line:
#
# make all = Make software.
#
# make clean = Clean out built project files.
#
# make coff = Convert ELF to AVR COFF.
#
# make extcoff = Convert ELF to AVR Extended COFF.
#
# make program = Download the hex file to the device, using avrdude.
#                Please customize the avrdude settings below first!
#
# make debug = Start either simulavr or avarice as specified for debugging, 
#              with avr-gdb or avr-insight as the front end for debugging.
#
# make filename.s = Just compile filename.c into the assembler code only.
#
# make filename.i = Create a preprocessed source file for use in submitting
#                   bug reports to the GCC project.
#
# To rebuild project do "make clean" then "make all".

# Processor frequency.
#     This will define a symbol, F_CPU, in all source code files equal to the 
#     processor frequency. You can then use this symbol in your source code to 
#     calculate timings. Do NOT tack on a 'UL' at the end, this will be done
#     automatically to create a 32-bit value in your source code.
#     Typical values are:
#         F_CPU =  1000000
#         F_CPU =  1843200
#         F_CPU =  2000000
