It might be easier to use a build system that automatically creates 
Makefiles for you, like autotools (more specifically, automake for 
Makefiles):

http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#Autotools
http://www.openismus.com/documents/linux/automake/automake

Then you can simply define all the sources for each target, and let the 
build system track the dependencies for preprocessing, compiling and 
linking.
