hello, I downloaded a c++ library. The binary needs to take several files as input and they are specified in the Makefile like this: [Code] ... DATA_DIR = data LEXI = ${DATA_DIR}/input/LEXE BIGR = ${DATA_DIR}/input/BIGR ... [/code] The Make will create a binary file in the same directory as the DATA_DIR directory. Then the user has to always execute this binary in this same directory; if you execute it another directory, it will complain it can't find the data input file. Can I replace the relative path "data" with a full path like
DATA_DIR ="C:\GeneTagger\data" // or DATA_DIR ="C:/GeneTagger/data" So that I can execute it anywhere? I tried, but I got the following message: [code] c:\tagger>make Makefile:67: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. [/code] Can anyone help with this? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-specify-full-path-in-Makefile--tp30477859p30477859.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
