Relative paths?

[jdarnold]

Is there any way to have the generated makefiles use relative paths rather than full paths? If it uses a full path to the source file, I can't really share the makefile with anyone else.

If it can help, Premake is a tool which can generate (stand alone) makefile and CodeLite project (and also other IDE project).

I looked at premake but it just looked like Yet Another Makefile language I would have to learn. Not really interested in multi-platform make files right now. Just want to be able to give my project's .mk files and have someone build in their home folder.

You'd better ask him to download and use CodeLite
CodeLite is not design to produce makefiles. It uses makefiles to produce binaries.

Except it generates very nice makefiles! And a simple substitution with another editor gets them to work anywhere. And it's actually only in the spot where the -MM file is passed in that uses the full path.
