VPATH is useful only to find source files from the destination directory, it cannot be used to find destination files from the source directory.
I think that's what your trying to do here: run make in the source directory and put the results in a different directory. VPATH cannot be used in that environment. You might take a look at my web site below: there's an in-depth discussion of how VPATH works (and doesn't). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
