makefile output directory

I'm working with Borland C++ 4.02 compiler / IDE for a 16-bit dos project and it's been a while since I've done a makefile.

Borland has generated a makefile for me, but I was hoping it was possible to change the directory where the obj files and executable are written to. Anyone know how?

Thanks,
Eric

Re: makefile output directory

You can replace "-o$@" with "-o$(DESTINATION_PATH)\$." for each rule of object file.
And, for the linking command, replace "$*" with "$(DESTINATION_PATH)\$."
You must, of course, define the DESTINATION_PATH macro in the makefile.

Something like that:

Code:

# # # Borland C++ IDE generated makefile # .AUTODEPEND # # Borland C++ tools # IMPLIB = Implib BCCDOS = Bcc +BccDos.cfg TLINK = TLink TLIB = TLib TASM = Tasm # # IDE macros # # # Options # IDE_LFLAGSDOS = -LC:\BC4\LIB IDE_BFLAGS = LLATDOS_mcmdexe = -c -Tde RLATDOS_mcmdexe = BLATDOS_mcmdexe = CNIEAT_mcmdexe = -IC:\BC4\INCLUDE -D LNIEAT_mcmdexe = -m LEAT_mcmdexe = $(LLATDOS_mcmdexe) REAT_mcmdexe = $(RLATDOS_mcmdexe) BEAT_mcmdexe = $(BLATDOS_mcmdexe) DESTINATION_PATH= c:\yourpath\here # # Dependency List # Dep_mcm = \ mcm.exe mcm : BccDos.cfg $(Dep_mcm) echo MakeNode Dep_mcmdexe = \ squeue.obj\ ddu_ser.obj\ diag.obj\ rxrout.obj\ vfd_ser.obj\ common.obj\ control.obj\ ddu.obj\ io.obj\ mcm.obj\ menus.obj\ pccomms.obj\ pqueue.obj\ table.obj\ vfd_init.obj mcm.exe : $(Dep_mcmdexe) $(TLINK) @&&| /v $(IDE_LFLAGSDOS) $(LEAT_mcmdexe) $(LNIEAT_mcmdexe) + C:\BC4\LIB\c0l.obj+ squeue.obj+ ddu_ser.obj+ diag.obj+ rxrout.obj+ vfd_ser.obj+ common.obj+ control.obj+ ddu.obj+ io.obj+ mcm.obj+ menus.obj+ pccomms.obj+ pqueue.obj+ table.obj+ vfd_init.obj $<,$(DESTINATION_PATH)\$.

It could be good to define an implicit rule .cpp.obj

Re: makefile output directory

It worked for the most part.
The linker is bombing out now because the obj files are in the new directory, I believe. It is also not detecting that the obj files exist... keeps rebuilding all of them.
What do I need to change?

Thanks,
Eric

Re: makefile output directory

I haven't worked with BCB 4.x but the later versions allow you to change the immediate output in the IDE. Modifying the generated makefile may not be a good idea.

Is there no setting to define the location of the immediate output in BCB 4?

Re: makefile output directory

You were right... I thought I looked; Guess I didn't look hard enough.
Here is the resultant makefile that borland generated.

Thanks!
