Make file for C++

So, uh, yeah, I'm coding some C++ (Don't worry, tis something awesome that I will be posting on wdR this weekend, hopefully).
Includes printer drivers and some other fancy things.

Anyway, at the moment, I'm running the command by hand in my terminal. This is what I need to run:

g++ -o bin/file `cups-config --cflags` src/file.cpp `cups-config --libs`
cp bin/file someotherplace/file

(Obviously, I use history... Not going to type that every time :rolleyes:

)

So, I was thinking that there must have been a better way, without going through an IDE (it's literally just one file, not going to open up xCode for that).
After asking Kyek... A Makefile, of course! However, I've looked around, and can't quite find a tutorial that works.

So yeah... What should the file contain, and how should I run it?

Thanks

Edit: Yeah, actually:

$ make filter
make: *** No rule to make target `filter'.  Stop.

filter: src/filter/everprinter.cpp
	mkdir bin
	g++ -o bin/everprinter `cups-config --cflags` src/filter/everprinter.cpp `cups-config --libs`
	cp bin/everprinter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/everprinter

(Those are proper tabs, by the way)
