From: Boaz Harrosh <boaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> I have one last problem when compiling under an IDE. This time it is when I compile linux under another Makefile with the use of make -C linux The make command is run from /home/boaz/dev/ What the IDE will see is: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/boaz/dev/linux-open-osd' This one is from the external make dev/Makefile make[1]: Entering directory `.build_um' ^ This one is emulated by Linux Makefile ... make[1]: Entering directory `.build_um' ^ This one is emulated by Linux Makefile again error: ../foo/baz.c:XXX ... The IDE will look for ../foo/baz.c at /home/boaz/dev/.build_um/../foo/baz.c == /home/boaz/dev/foo/baz.c This is because make will always print its "Entering directory" full path or relative to the original make command, this is make -C rules. the simple fix is to have "Entering directory" print full path.
