VPATH and Target Specific Rules

[Roko Kruze]

Hello,

 

I'm using make on a windows xp machine.  Everything works great except for the fact that I want to be able to create a release and a debug version of my project.  In order to do this I want to change my VPATH to point to either "Release" or "Debug". 

 

However I can't get this to work.  I do something similar to this.

 

all:  TARGET := Release

all:  VPATH = $(TARGET)

 

and have tried

 

VPATH = $(TARGET)

all:  TARGET := Release

 

but this doesn't work.  I can list the two directories in VPATH to begin with, but I don't any chance of linking to debug objects when I want to be linking to release objects. 

 

Any help on this would be great. Thank you in advance.
