I have a large program and want to keep the source in several folders, the objects in another folder. For my make file, I tried the following: ># home directory >SELFDIR = Self:Self: ># object file directory >OBJ = {SELFDIR}bin: > ># directory dependency rule (left hand side = source directories) >{OBJ} f {SELFDIR}compiler: {SELFDIR}lookup: {SELFDIR}memory: 6 > {SELFDIR}parser: {SELFDIR}runtime: {SELFDIR}zone: > >.c.o f .c > CPlus {CPOptions} {Default}.c -o {OBJ}{Default}.c.o The idea is that when I have a dependency rule like {OBJ}abort.c.o f abort.c abort.h make would search for abort.c and abort.h in the source directories. However, this does not work; running make -s gives the dependencies >Self:Self:bin:abort.c.o > abort.c > abort.h > Self:Self:runtime:abort.c and make complains it doesn't find abort.c and abort.h. What's wrong??? aTdHvAaNnKcSe, -Urs

I'm not an expert, but in your variable declairations you have....
dir1:dir2:<filename>
this won't work because since there is no leading : on dir1 MPW thinks it's
a volume identifier rather than a directory ID. Two possible solutions
exists.
prefix the first directory with a : so that MPW will search for the first
dir in the current directory {much like ./ in unix}, or give a full path
name to the dir such as {MPW}<dir1>:<dir2>:<filename>.
I hope this helps.

It's only 1's & 0's, so how difficult can Computer Science be?
