Makefile won't compile anything other than "kernel.c"

Question

I've been trying to compile an OS however whenever I attempt to compile it using the make file it only compiles "kernel.c" and I can't seem to figure out why. I need help to figure what's wrong. I've tried everything I could possibly do to fix it at least from my knowledge.

Here's the code:

PROJECT_DIR= ..
CXXFLAGS= -ggdb3 -O0 -Wall -O2 -ffreestanding -nostdinc -nostdlib 
CFLAGS=-std=c17
CSRCFLAGS= -O2 -Wall -Wextra
LFLAGS= -ffreestanding -O2 -nostdlib
IMG_PATH= ../
BUILD_BACK_TWO= ../../../build
CFILES= $(wildcard *.c)
OFILES= $(CFILES:.c=.o)
GCCPATH=C:/CrossCompilers/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-mingw-w64-i686-aarch64-none-elf
CFLAGSSTART= -ffreestanding -c
CFLAGSEND= -O2 -Wall -Wextra
GCCFLAGS= -Wall -O2 -ffreestanding -nostdinc -nostdlib -nostartfiles
GCCPATHAARCH= $(GCCPATH)/aarch64-none-elf/bin
GCCPATHBIN= $(GCCPATH)/bin
ASMCFLAGS= -f elf32 -F dwarf -g -w+all
ASM= -s

# Location of the files
THIS_DIR := $(dir $(abspath $(firstword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
SRC = $(PROJECT_DIR)/src
UI_IMAGES = $(PROJECT_DIR)/images/ui
OBJ_DIR = $(PROJECT_DIR)/build/objects
ASMSOURCES = $(wildcard $(SRC)/*.s)
SOURCES = $(wildcard $(SRC)/*.c)
SOURCES = $(wildcard $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/*.c)
UISOURCES = $(wildcard $(UI_IMAGES)/*.png)
OBJECTS  = $(patsubst $(SRC)/%.s, $(OBJ_DIR)/%.o, $(ASMSOURCES))
OBJECTS += $(patsubst $(SRC)/%.c, $(OBJ_DIR)/%.o, $(SOURCES))
OBJECTS += $(patsubst $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/*.c, $(OBJ_DIR)/$(ARCHDIR)%.o, $(SOURCES))
OBJ_KEEP = objects_keep

#Headers
HEADERS = $(PROJECT_DIR)/inc
INCLUDE = -I$(HEADERS)

#File settings
KERNEL_NEEDED=kernel8.img
BASE_KERNEL=base_kernel.img
IMG_NAME=edited_reality


$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o: $(SRC)/%.s
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    @echo COMPILING $^
    $(GCCPATHBIN)/aarch64-none-elf-as -c $^ -o $@
$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o: $(SRC)/%.c
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    @echo COMPILING $^
    $(GCCPATHBIN)/aarch64-none-elf-gcc -ffreestanding $(INCLUDE) $(CFLAGS) -c $^ -o $@ -O2 -Wall -Wextra
$(OBJ_DIR)/$(ARCHDIR)/%.o: $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/%.c
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    @echo COMPILING $^
    $(GCCPATHBIN)/aarch64-none-elf-gcc -ffreestanding $(INCLUDE) $(CFLAGS) -c $^ -o $@ -O2 -Wall -Wextra

BUILD: $(OBJECTS)
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    @echo COMPILING $^
    $(GCCPATHBIN)/aarch64-none-elf-gcc -nostdlib -T linker.ld -o $(IMG_NAME).elf -ffreestanding -O2 -nostdlib $(OBJECTS) $(INCLUDE) -lgcc
    $(GCCPATHBIN)/aarch64-none-elf-objcopy $(IMG_NAME).elf -O binary $(KERNEL_NEEDED)


clean:
    rm -rf $(OBJ_DIR)
    rm -rf $(IMG_NAME).elf
    rm -rf $(IMG_NAME).img

start:
    @echo Starting
    mkdir $(OBJ_DIR)
    @echo .
    @echo .
    @echo .

.PHONY: clean start BUILD

EDIT: I couldn't figure it out so what I'm doing is just writing a one file C++ program that will compile everything else because that is so much easier (for some reason).

Anyways thanks everyone.

Answer 1

It's not clear whether you mean it runs the compiler one time then stops, or whether it runs the compiler many times but always on the same file. When asking for help please cut and paste the command you typed and the output you got (or the useful parts if there's a lot of it), and describe what is wrong and what you wanted to happen.

But, I think this is just a typo:

OBJECTS += $(patsubst $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/*.c, $(OBJ_DIR)/$(ARCHDIR)%.o, $(SOURCES))

Note here you use $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/*.c when you mean $(SRC)/$(ARCHDIR)/%.c.

You can add things like $(info $(OBJECTS)) to see the value of various variables (or run make -p).
