Why don't you simply use mmake? I guess only one of your files contains
a "main" predicate, say "mainfile.m". It suffices to do

mmake mainfile.depend

and then 

mmake mainfile

and that should be it. 

As a normal programmer you shouldn't be concerned by all those int, date
and whatsoever files. They are needed because the compiler needs them...
there is nothing more to it... 

Have fun,
