Hi guys, I have a Makefile which looks like this, but at he moment it chucks all the .objs and .pchs into the same directory as the source files.

I'm not that good with nmake Makefile syntax, do you know how (like the Vis Studio IDE does) you can get it to put the .objs into a subdirectory like say Debug/Direct.obj or Release/Direct.obj or XBox/Direct.obj to save cluttering up the source directory?

Cheers in advance...

You learn something old everyday...

to set the object name you do /Fo

so you'd need somthing like:

# Compile .cpp files:
.cpp.obj:
@$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) /c $*.cpp /Fo $**

and I think

OBJS=objs\DSound.obj objs\Emu.obj objs\Input.obj objs\LightCal.obj objs\Loop.obj objs\Main.obj objs\Rom.obj \
objs\Direct.obj objs\FileMenu.obj objs\Font.obj objs\TexScreen.obj

However you will also need to tell it how to map the files, something like:

objs\TexScreen.obj: TexScreen.cpp

you might as well add any of your own files that TexScreen.c #includes

objs\TexScreen.obj: TexScreen.cpp DavesInclude.h

Some versions of nmake won't use the .cpp.obj: bit in that case and you end up having to do:

COMPILE=@$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) /c $*.cpp /Fo $**

objs\TexScreen.obj: TexScreen.cpp DavesInclude.h
$(COMPILE)

By this point you'll probably write a program which generates these :-)
