I have a project that needs a custom makefile. The environment is Windows 8.
i have a directory called source with a subdirectory called proj, and the .cbp file is in the source/proj directory. The makefile is in the source directory along with other source files and binaries.
In Project->Properties, I have checked the custom Makefile box and put the string "makefile" in the Makefile: box.
The execution directory filed is set to "..\..\source".
When I try to build, I get the error
..\..\..\..\SOURCE\ makefile No such file or directory
If I change the makefile box to say "..\makefile", it predictably changes the error to
..\..\..\..\SOURCE\ makefile No such file or directory
I don't know what is causing such a pathname to be created (the space at the end just before the makefile is particularly perplexing), nor how to fix it.
Can someone help? I have tried a bunch of things and searched all forums.
