SUMMARY
=======
To place a target file into a directory other than its dependent file, you must
explicitly specify the path for the target and/or the dependents. To place an
object file into a different directory using a Microsoft language compiler,
specify the /Fo compiler option switch and the destination path for the object
file. To place an executable file in a directory other than the directory that
contains the source files, specify the full pathname for the EXE file parameter
when linking, or use the /Fe compiler switch if you compile and link your
application in the same step.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following makefile demonstrates placing an object file in a different
directory than the source file.
Sample Makefile
---------------
# Build options required: None
ObjDir = c:\obj^\
SourceDir = c:\src^\
$(ObjDir)pixel.obj : $(SourceDir)pixel.c
cl /Fo$(ObjDir) /c $*
NOTE: When you use a macro in the makefile to specify a pathname, you must
specify a caret (^) before the backslash (\) character that ends the line.
Otherwise, NMAKE interprets the trailing backslash as a line- continuation
character.
