My Makefile:

HEADERS = headers.h macros.h main.h socket.h
 

main.o : main.c main.h
	cc -c main.c

socket.o : socket.c headers.h macros.h
	cc -c socket.c

main.c

#include "main.h"
main()
{
printf("%s\n","Connect_Socket Start");
Connect_Socket(IP_ADDRESS, PORT);
printf("%s\n","Connect_Socket End");
   while(1)
   {
       Send_Message();
       Recv_Message();
   }
    Close_Socket();
}

socket.c

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h> 
#include <errno.h> 
#include "headers.h"
#include "macros.h"

void Connect_Socket() {
    //definiton...
} 

int Send_Message() {
    //definiton...
}

int Recv_Message() {
   //definiton...
}

void Close_Socket() {
    //definiton...
}

socket.h

//function declarations of socket.c

macros.h

//Some macros used in socket.c and main.c

headers.h

//Includes standard .h files

main.h

#include "headers.h"
#include "socket.h"
#include "macros.h"

#include "MQTTPacket/MQTTPacket.h"

When executing $make on terminal, I am not getting any errors. However, I am also not getting any of the printf() messages.

What I have tried:

I tried changing my makefile to:

cc	=	gcc
OBJFILES	=	socket.o main.o
TARGET	=	mqtt_c8y

all: $(TARGET)

$TARGET: $(OBJFILES)
	$(CC) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJFILES)

However, when commenting the function calls in main.c and compiling simply main.c with $gcc main.c and then $./a.out, I do get the printf() messages.
