Here is an example for GNU-make (which could often be found in /usr/local/bin):
--- cut here ---
SRCS= $(wildcard *.cc) OBJS = $(patsubst %.cc,%.o,$(SRCS))
all: $(OBJS)
--- cut here ---

Yes. There's an example somewhere in the texinfo docs for GNU make.
The "makedepend" program can figure out which header files your program needs. See "man makedepend". The following should come pretty close…
PROGRAM=sample
all: depend $(PROGRAM)
depend:
makedepend main.cpp
$(PROGRAM): main.o
clean:
rm main.o

You don't even need a makefile. A file named main.cpp can be turned into an executable called main using the command `make main`, so when I do Computer Science projects, my makefiles usually consist of setting the compiler flags, telling make what programs are part of "all", and creating a cleanup rule.

Thanks. It works. It's the obvious way, it's in the manual, and I feel stupid for asking.
But last time I was faced with this problem, it wasn't in the manual, and this obvious method didn't work.

I have the following make file:
all: something else
.PHONY: MakeAppleJuice MakeOrangeJuice MakeTomatoJuice
MakeAppleJuice:
make_juice Apple.in.source Apple.in.condition
MakeOrangeJuice:
make_juice Orange.in.source Orange.in.condition
MakeTomatoJuice:
make_juice Tomato.in.source Tomato.in.condition
Is there anyway to combine the 3 rules into one? I hope there is, because the 3 rules only different in what files they use and what juices then make (but I still need the 3 phony targets). I tried the following but it didn't work:
Make%Juice: %.in.source
make_juice $*.in.source $*.in.condition
Is it possible to have such generic phony rule?
Pattern rules and phonies don't play well. You can't have a rule like this:
.PHONY: %.o
Also, it seems when you define:
.PHONY: AppleJuice
Then make looks for an *explicit* rule to make "AppleJuice". It doesn't do the pattern rule.
Interestingly, I haven't seen this anywhere in the documentation.
> Which shouldn't be, because AppleJuice is a phony target.
Quite the opposite. In light of the above, if you remove the target from the phonies, I mean delete the .PHONY *rule* from your makefile, it works.
If you want to get the effect of .PHONY, there's another trick:
FORCE:
Make%Juice: %.in.source FORCE
make_juice $*.in.source $*.in.condition
And your original command line works.
info make --index='force'

The "FORCE" trick is meant to *replace* the .PHONY rule. It's not exactly the same thing, but in your case it will allow you to do what you want with a similar overall effect (only performance is affected).
Delete the .PHONY *rule* from your makefile:
% cat Makefile
all: something else
FORCE:
Make%Juice: %.in.source FORCE
@echo $*.in.source $*.in.condition
% ls *.in.source
Apple.in.source
Orange.in.source
Tomato.in.source
% make MakeAppleJuice
Apple.in.source Apple.in.condition
% touch MakeAppleJuice
% make MakeAppleJuice
Apple.in.source Apple.in.condition
Without "FORCE":
% cat Makefile
all: something else
Make%Juice: %.in.source
@echo $*.in.source $*.in.condition
% touch MakeAppleJuice
% make MakeAppleJuice
make: `MakeAppleJuice' is up to date.
