I hope it is *not* requiring an absolute path here, because that would be unacceptable: a developer might put the NuttX tree in, e.g., /home/bob/work/NuttX/... on one machine, and another team member might put it in /home/alice/NuttX, and if we're requiring an absolute path then the source files become tied to one particular machine with one particular layout which is not portable to other machines. This may or may not apply in Tim's case, but even if this doesn't apply to Tim's case, it would be incorrect. I am using my phone atm so I cannot dig into the sources right now, but I'll try to look a little later... Cheers Nathan
