Hi Cal.
I'll take a stab at the problem. It looks like a compiler error -- just
because GNU make knows where to find dependency files (the header), doesn't
mean the C preprocessor knows where to find them.
Are you sure you're specifying -I ../inc in your compiler options?

Subject: search for dependancy fails
Hi,
I'm having a pisser of a problem with gnu make on redhat(7.1)
linux(2.4.2-2smp). I'm sure there's an obvious explanation for it but I
just cannot get make to recognise a header in a different directory using
either absolute/relative pathnames or VPATH, vpath.
When I run make with the following setup I get the error:
allocatlor.c:5:23: allocator.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [allocator.o] Error 1
I have the following files:
/mydir/inc/allocator.h
/mydir/src/allocator.c
/mydir/src/makefile
makefile looks like this:
##########################################
# my makefile
env %.h ../inc # doesnt work with full path either
VPATH = ../inc # doesnt work with full path either
# by the way one of the above is commented out when the other is in use
all: allocator.o
allocator.o allocator.h #doesnt work if i use absolute or relative path
here..eg ../inc/allocator.hk
# end of makefile
###########################################
I'm using implicit rules here to be short and sweet but explicitly it
doesnt work either.
I can get allocator.o to work ONLY if the #include is double quoted in
allocator.c(ie #include "allocator.h" ) and the file allocator.h is in the
src directory where the makefile resides.
Saw a link to you guys from http://www.paulandlesley.org/gmake/ so just
sending a (not quite) last resort email while I try and figure out the
problem. Any ideas?
Thanx Cal
