Neither vpath nor VPATH are there to find _TARGETS_, as I mentioned before. They won't work for that, and they're not intended to work for that. They are there to find _SOURCES_ (that is, files that make does not build itself but that already exist before make starts). You might find this blog post illuminating: http://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/how-not-to-use-vpath/
