What is the best way to structure a C project?

A well-structured C project typically includes a clear directory layout, source files, headers, and a Makefile for building.

Can you give me an example of a directory layout?

Sure! A common layout might look like this:

/my_project
    /src
    /include
    /lib
    /tests
    Makefile

Where 'src' contains source files, 'include' has header files, 'lib' for libraries, and 'tests' for test cases.

What should I include in the Makefile?

Your Makefile should include rules for compiling source files, linking them, and cleaning up build artifacts. It can also define variables for compiler options.

How do I manage dependencies in a C project?

You can manage dependencies by using a package manager like vcpkg or by manually including libraries in your project structure.
