%% Regarding Changing resolution of $^ in make; you wrote: rm> vpath %.in /c/work/tmp/src rm> vpath %.out /c/work/tmp/out
rm> default: stuff/foo.out rm> # $^ rm> %.out: %.in rm> touch /c/work/tmp/out/$@ rm> the first time (when the prerequisite "stuff/foo.out" doesn't rm> exist) , $^ is resolved to "stuff/foo.out". But the second time, rm> when stuff/foo.out already exists, it is resolved to rm> "/c/work/tmp/out/stuff/foo.out". Is this behavior correct? Yes. VPATH/vpath is not appropriate for finding targets, only for finding source files (that is, files which are not built by make but which exist a priori). See my web site below for a longer description of how VPATH/vpath works. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
