hi there, I have a Makefile covering not only the current directory but also some subdirectories, i.e. the source code is in various subdirectories. I'd like to generate the object files such that the build tree is isomorphic to the source tree, i.e. there is a trivial correspondance between the object file name and the source file name... Here is a snipped of the Makefile I attempted to use:
srcdir := .. all: foo.o Console/bar.o %.o: $(srcdir)/%.cc @echo processing $^ #Console/%.o: $(srcdir)/Console/%.cc # @echo processing $^ It is my understanding that I shouldn't need a rule to explicitely define how to make stuff in the Console/ subdirectory. (Thus is is commented out above). This works indeed if I build in the source tree, i.e. if 'srcdir == .' In all other cases I get 'No rule to make target `Console/bar.o'' This problem is still present in the make 3.79.2a snapshot you sent me last friday...
