Hello!
I hope somebody on the list can shed a light on how to configure BUILD to output intermideate
files in specified directory.
Docs for XP SP1 DDK suggest that using _OBJ_DIR macro in SOURCES should do exactly what I want. I
tried to use it to no avail.
Am I missing something? Has anyone had any luck outputing OBJs to non-default path?
Below is the snippet from DDK’s documentation.
I would appreciate if some one could point out what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks,
Max.
------------- DDK docs -----------------------------------
Use the _OBJ_ROOT macro to specify the root directory for the objects subdirectory (specified by
the O environment variable). By using _OBJ_ROOT, you alter the default to allow you to build into
a completely different directory tree. There are many advantages in doing this, including the
ability to separate objects from your source tree and building onto a different hard drive.
For example, if you were to build out of d:\nt\private\foo, normally the objects tree would look
something like d:\nt\private\foo\obj\i386. By setting _OBJ_ROOT=f:\build, you would cause the
objects tree to appear as f:\build\foo\obj\i386.
The object path is determined by concatenating _OBJ_ROOT with a subset of the current directory.
This subset is determined by taking the current directory and parsing out the drive, and BASEDIR,
if it exists.

Though I have not tried it, hope U are using _OBJ_ROOT
and not _OBJ_DIR as mentioned in your email.

Yes, I am using _OBJ_ROOT (_OBJ_DIR came up when I was poking around, trying things.)
I set it up as macro in SOURCES, tried as environment variable. Makes no difference.
BUILD simply ignores it.
