Search Paths in Rules

Remarks

An inference rule applies to a dependency only if paths specified in the dependency exactly match the inference-rule paths. Specify the dependent's directory in frompath and the target's directory in topath; no spaces are allowed. Specify only one path for each extension. A path on one extension requires a path on the other. To specify the current directory, use either a period (.) or empty braces ({ }). Macros can represent frompath and topath; they are invoked during preprocessing.

Example

Code

{dbi\}.cpp{$(ODIR)}.obj::
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(YUDBI) $<

{ilstore\}.cpp{$(ODIR)}.obj::
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $<

{misc\}.cpp{$(ODIR)}.obj::
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(YUPDB) $<

{misc\}.c{$(ODIR)}.obj::
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $<
