Hi Ricky,
There is a makefile template in the pd's external repository [1].
There is also some tutorial on
puredata.info that explains the libdir format [2] and the library template [3].
They are good starting points.
Concerning the Makefile system I wrote for Cream library, it is based on the pix_opencv building system, which based on Gem's one.
All three are using are using autotools to generate Makefile.
It allows to check for library and configure according to what is available on building machine.
To start with autotool, you need at least the autogen.sh script (which you don't need to modify), a
configure.ac file and one or more Makefile.am.
To build, you have to first run ./autogen.sh to generate a configure script.
Then run this script to produce Makefile and finally run make.
They are plenty of tutorials on autotool over internet.
