See "Paul's 2nd Rule of Makefiles":
http://make.paulandlesley.org/rules.html#rule2
These rules are very interesting. I have a question about applying
rule #3:
Life is simplest if the targets are built in the current working
directory.
Use VPATH to locate the sources from the objects directory, not to
locate the objects from the sources directory.
I have a project with sources and the Makefile in, for example, /src/
project, and I need to place the object files and executables in /dst/
project. I'm not sure how to "locate the sources from the object
directory" in this case. It would be possible to do a recursive make,
I suppose:
all:
$(MAKE) -C /dst/project -f /src/project/Makefile
all-in-dst-directory
Aside from that, I'm not sure how to force make to change its working
directory, so that it was "locating the sources from the objects
directory" — unless I'm misunderstanding the rule.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
