Here is a boiled down example: Make a subdirectory foobar in your current directory, and put a file foo in there.
The makefile is VPATH = \ foobar \ foobar \ foobar \ (... repeated 1000 times) foo: Now, if I type >make foo On my computer it takes 12 seconds! With VPATH reduced to one foobar, make foo is immediate. I tried vpath, same problem. Can someone tell me, how to prevent make from going through all those directorys when it already found what it is looking for?? >The GNU make manual says: " In the VPATH variable, directory names are >separated by colons or blanks. The order in which directories are listed is >the order followed by make in its search." This does not work for me: Mark
