I'm having a problem trying to make this makefile work. The problem is in the path lookup of the prerequisite files. For some reason make keeps throwing away the path and just keeps the filename. According to the documentation on gnu.org here: http://www.gnu.org/manual/make-3.79.1/html_chapter/make_4.html#SEC29 If I set the GPATH variable to the subdirectories I wish to parse it's supposed to keep the path along with the filename. For some reason I'm not getting that behavior. Below is the relevant portions of the Makefile. I have been able to use this successfully if I enter in the full relative path to the source file but I'm trying to avoid that so I can make the rules more complex. Right now the way I have it setup below it will not parse the sgml files because it can't find the files. Anyone see any glaring errors? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
