VPATH and vpath problems

[Dan Clarke]

Hi.  I'm having a bit of trouble getting the VPATH variable to do 
anything.  I want to generate a .hvo file from a .hvs file.  However, 
they have to be in different directories.

I've got this in my makefile ...


VPATH = w:/modules7/graphics/pc/vshaders/effects
vpath %.hvs w:/modules7/graphics/pc/vshaders/effects

%.hvo: %.hvs



and I get the following error ...

gnumake: *** No rule to make target 
`\gamedir\vshaders\effects\ccorrect.hvo', needed by `project.exe'.  Stop.

Now, ccorrect.hvs definitely exists in the 
"w:\modules7\graphics\pc\vshaders\effects" directory.

I've tried running gnumake with the "-d" command, and it doesn't mention 
anything about vpath in the output.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Dan.
