Probably a simple question

[Alex Olivas]

I'm currently using a set of tools (written in objective-c) and it's set
up so that all of the files (headers, source, object, binaries, etc. )
exist in one directory.  I would much rather have one subdirectory
for each.  The only problem I seem to be having is getting the
compiler to write the object files in the "object" directory.
My old makefile looks like...

APPLICATION=bug
APPVERSION=2.1
address@hidden
OBJECTS= main.o  Bug.o
include $(SWARMHOME)/etc/swarm/Makefile.appl

main.o: main.m Bug.h
Bug.o: Bug.h Bug.m


The new one looks like...


VPATH = src object

APPLICATION=bin/bug
APPVERSION=2.1
address@hidden
OBJECTS= object/main.o  object/Bug.o
include $(SWARMHOME)/etc/swarm/Makefile.appl

SWARMINCLUDES += -I include

object/main.o: src/main.m include/Bug.h
object/Bug.o: include/Bug.h src/Bug.m

The error I get when I try to make after these changes is...

I'm sure I'm missing something simple and obvious, but I would
appreciate any help.  I'm using GNU make 3.79.1 on a FC1 platform and
gcc version 3.3.2.
Thanks,
Alex.
