Q67780: PWB May Record Incorrect Paths for Dependencies in Makefile |

Creating a program list with dependencies in directories other than
the project (makefile) directory may result in the Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB) recording the wrong paths to these dependencies.
The following steps illustrate the problem:
1. Create subdirectories named TEST and TESTA under the same
directory, with sample files FOO.C in TEST and GOO.C in TESTA.
2. Invoke PWB from the TESTA directory.
3. Create a program list.
4. Add FOO.C and GOO.C with full path.
5. Save the list.
The resulting makefile will contain the line:
OBJS = goo.c foo.c
The correct line should read:
OBJS = goo.c ..\TEST\foo.c
Changing the location of the project makefile or changing the names of
the subdirectories will generate the correct paths for dependencies in
the makefile.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Programmer's
WorkBench versions 1.00 and 1.10. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here as it becomes available.
