------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 29 14:20:52 -0800 2007 ------- Currently, when generating the target name of a prerequisite target using the .SETDIR attribute and the current target dmake creates a relative target paths. This is usually a good idea, but when the relative path goes up to the root directory and down into a different tree this might not be always the best idea. The same applies for the TMD macro. (For the native windows version there was always the absolute path used if the prerequisite lived on a different drive.) I'm actually not able to think of a problem for *nix systems with this practice, but when mixing a cygwin dmake with native W32 executables there are potential problems. For example the relative path from /home/user/ to /cygdrive/d/mydir/mytarget.bar would be ../../cygdrive/d/mydir/mytarget.bar . I don't see any harm in using the absolute path whenever the relative path would go up to the root directory for all OSs, it even slightly shortens the path, so that I wont make this patch cygwin specific. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
