That may well be. This is the Lucent nmake viewpath functionality: being able to use "upstream" built targets and intermediates. Hence my question. Viewpathing through multiple build areas is pretty specific functionality to Lucent's nmake and a couple of other build systems. If you are familiar with clearmake (Rational), it can "wink in" built targets so that they need not be built locally. Lucent nmake can accomplish similar reuse of built targets without the special file system using its flavor of veiwpathing. > VPATH/vpath find sources, not targets. Yes. This is likely the issue. However, I don't want to "place targets" using VPATH, but rather "find" intermediate targets if they exist "upstream". The placement of targets built is always specific (local) and not viewpathed. Much of this actually works in gmake, just no direct way to force a local source file to be used when there's an upstream intermediate target that is newer.
