How does > the Makefile has to / should look like? From the top of /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.README: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building multiple programs in a single directory. It's a lot easier split up the programs than to deal with the problem. Most of the agony comes from making the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switch to a new version of make. So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff. (Imake doesn't count.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As to handling common code, you can handle this in other ways using the Makefile. I think specifying one of the OBJS files as ../otherprog/mysrc.c will do the trick, although I don't think it's the cleanest way. You may want to consider building a small library. -- Dom Mitchell -- Palmer & Harvey McLane -- Unix Systems Administrator Free your mind -- http://www.opensource.org/ -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
