Lines: 41 Keywords: make sccs subdirectories Ultrix help I have a question regarding the make utility. We have a VAX 11/750 running Ultrix (actually 2 11/750's - one runs Ultrix 2.0, the other is still at 1.2). One of our users is managing some source code for a project and is trying to use make and SCCS to keep track of things. Basically, he has asked me if there is a way of keeping source in one directory and objects in another and using one makefile. Having been over the make documentation and looked at the gnuemacs makefiles, it seems that you can change directories and run makes from makes, but not pick up paths from a common point. Basically we would like to specify paths from a common directory, and have different directories for source, objects, special testing software, etc. If someone can give us an explanation (and/or examples) of how to use relative paths in makefile, or Point us to further documentation (or products), or Suggest other alternatives, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. Please respond via email. May God Bless You, in Jesus Name Jim Moore - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - James H.
