C++ SDL Makefile for MPW on Mac OS 9

[MPD]

Hi, I'm new to the MPW (Mac Programmers Workshop -- Apple's now freely
avilable development tools for Classic Mac OS's) and wish to construct
a simple 2D game using MPW's C++ compiler and SDL.

However I don't know how to write a C++ makefile that initializes both
SDL and C++ (not C) in MPW. I have got the SDL examples that came with
the Mac Classic SDL Development Binaries to compile however they are
all written in straight C and as such don't use object orientation
(and MPW passes the code to a C compiler called rather than use a
backwards compatible C++ compiler).

I know that this is down to the makefile MPW needs to compile C++
rather than C programs but I have no idea how to write one as I've
only started using MPW in the last 2 days. Can anyone tell me how to
construt a C++ makefile that initializes a simple C++ class along with
all the relevant SDL header files and Libraries:

simple_class.h

main.cpp // object of simple_class gets initialised here
// also simple SDL window initialised

Very simple stuff I know, but I'm stuck! Any help will be much
appreciated, thanks!!

Just use MPW's CreateMake tool. Invoke it via the commando interface and
then just pick the source files that you need to include in the build.
