Info node make(General Search) says: The value of the `make' variable `VPATH' specifies a list of directories that `make' should search. Most often, the directories are expected to contain prerequisite files that are not in the current directory; however, `VPATH' specifies a search list that `make' applies for all files, including files which are targets of rules. I think the implicit assumption is that the "all files" refers to all prerequisites, and does not apply to, say, included makefiles by the include directive (where VPATH does not apply). I suggest: `VPATH' specifies a search list that `make' applies for all prerequisite files, including files which are targets of rules. manoj -- If it smells good, eat it!
