(I'm reposting this after determining my news client didn't wrap text sent out.)
I need to use gnuMake's vpath directive to find RCS archive files:
vpath %,v ${RCS_DIR}/frames
The first time, it worked, but after changing the makefile to call our RCS
checkout wrapper properly, vpath (& VPATH) have not worked. I've reviewed
make's debugging output, seen make a search for the right file but not
finding it in the directory I'd supplied with vpath.
I've checked both O'Reilly's Make book & FSF's Info, but neither's suggested
how I could further debug this problem. when I enter 'make checkout' (which
target depends on all of the source files I want to checkout) I get this from
the debugging output:
...
No implicit rule found for `checkout'.
Considering target file `actions'.
File `actions' does not exist.
Looking for an implicit rule for `actions'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `actions'.
Trying implicit dependency `actions,v'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `actions'.
Trying implicit dependency `actions.o'.
...
vpath ought to direct make to '/export/home/mercury/RCS/frames/actions,v' but
it does not. What could be the problem here?
I've tried rearranging the order, and even writing shorter, sweeter version,
but have had no more luck:
CO = /export/home/mercury/bin/mco # our check-out command
RCS_DIR=/export/home/mercury/RCS # top of RCS for this branch
vpath %,v ${RCS_DIR}/perl
# our RCS rules
%:: %,v # copied nigh verbatim from default CHECKOUT,v
%:: RCS/%,v # an ounce of prevention
all: finance
bash$ make -ffoo.make
make: *** No rule to make target `finance'. Stop.
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. The complete makefile follows.
thanks muchly in advance,
