Trouble with Makefile

[Septimus]

Long time no see fellas.

So I've been bored and pulled out an old copy of Godwars and the whole having the .o files in the same directory as the .c files was pissing me off, so I tried to modify the Makefile to move the .o files into their own directory, and it's almost there, but not quite, I can't figure out what exactly is going wrong:

The problem I remember having a few years ago when I moved my object files to a different directory was:

$(O_DIR)/%.o: %.c

I pointed directly to the object directory

In my case: ../o/%.o: %.cc


As a site note you can use a wild card for your c files also instead of that ugly mess you have right now...

C_FILES := $(wildcard *.c)

Still can't figure out where it's not working though. The object files are being created, just not dropped in the object directory.

Try that web site...I see towards the bottom they have some examples for what you're trying to do.  I had found some decent Makefile tutorial sites a month or so ago when I was trying to get some information on file dependencies.  Couldn't get find to much info on what I needed done in it and gave up after time.  I had bookmarked some of the sites but I deleted them and I can't seem to find the sites I found even with the same searches on Google...

Lol, I really am lost now, trying to do it like he does it in that tutorial but I can't get there, it's a shame, the tutorial was really good up until the last bit, well worded, well explained, easy to understand, but then he throws that last bit in there without explaining what he's actually done, and so far trying to get the same thing working on mine is just plain not working >.<

Woo, just got it working finally.
