Hi folks, I am seeing strange behaviour when using dos paths in a gnu make vpath directive. The makefile I am using to test this funny is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------- vpath %.out c:/make_test/out #vpath %.out /cygdrive/c/make_test/out #VPATH = c:/make_test/out #VPATH = /cygdrive/c/make_test/out test.out : \ test.input\ ; echo test.input > out/test.out ------------------------------------------------------------------- What I find is that vpath doesn't work when given a dos path. VPATH on the other hand does. For out application we need to use a dos path. The work around is for us to use VPATH but it seems a bit funny that vpath and VPATH behave differently under given dos paths. Has anyone any ideas about this ? Cheers Colm A P.S. I am using gnu make 3.79.1-4 and 1.3.5-2 of the cygwin dll. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Colm Aengus Murphy, Tel : +353 1 2911000 Senior Hardware Design Engineer, Direct Tel: +353 1 2911373 Silicon & Software Systems, Fax : +353 1 2911001 South County Business Park, Leopardstown, E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dublin 18.
