RE: Trying to get rid of one redundand rule

[Alexander.Farber]

Thanks, but I keep rereading that and the manual, and still dont get it.
The generated files $(BLDDIR)/rcompl.cpp and rcomp.cpp are _SOURCE_ files too.

Why doesnt the rule

  VPATH = $(SRCDIR) $(BLDDIR)

  $(BLDDIR)/%.o: %.cpp
        $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -D __LINUX__ -I $(INCDIR) -I $(BLDDIR) -c $< -o $@

find them and an implicit rule for .cpp->.o triggers instead?

Regards
Alex

VPATH is ONLY for finding _SOURCE_ files, never for finding target
files.

See the papers on VPATH on my web site below.
