Eljay, Is there also a way to get the directory where the makefile resides in the makefile itself?? I have a problem with linking my file. I want to link a library, but the library is not in my include path, bu obviously in the same directory as the makefile. There is a toggle switch for the linker to include the directory, and it works fine, but how can I accomplish this automatically, i.e. not hardcoding the path for the makefile.
