Hi Eli,
Many thanks for the quick reply! I had a look around in the code and the default include paths are set in read.c (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/tree/read.c#n106). Given that I am working on a Windows machine, only the current directory ('.') comes through as default include directory in the standard Make version. Here some options I can see right now: * Invoking Make like 'Make -IC:/path/to/make/lib' (as already discussed) * Compile an additional hard coded path (like 'C:/path/to/make/lib') into Make (running build_w32.bat with some tweaks to use mingw32-gcc instead of gcc) with -DINCLUDEDIR="\".\",\" C:/path/to/makelib\"" * Calling targets like '$(MAKE) -IC:/path/to/make/lib mytarget' within the makefile which includes IncludeMe.make (in C:/path/to/make/lib) by using '-include IncludeMe.make' (where the leading '-' makes Make ignore the include error in the first run at least). To me the second option appears the most elegant one, but still has the disadvantage of a hard-coded path. Would it be possible that the default include path is (1) an environment or (2) a Make variable? If you want me to file a feature request somewhere, could you please pass on where to do that? Many thanks again, J. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
