relative makefiles possible?

(1/1)

siber_cat314:
Is is possible to change the makefile to allow cygwin to compile with relative directories? I ask because I keep my source code on my SD micro card (to read on the bus ;)), and I set up a portable cygwin environment. I know that I could just run the configure script again, but I don't want to if I don't have to.

gnu:
Why? Just give your card reader/ your SD card a certain drive letter (e.g. "R") in the windows device manager; then your card will always have the same drive letter and you therefore won't need relative paths.

siber_cat314:
That would be great, but when I'm working on the source code on my college's computers, I don't get a say in what drive letter gets assigned.

cool_walking_:
Just mount the directory in Cygwin:

--- Code: ---mount c:\\path\\to\\somedir /path/to/mountpoint
--- End code ---

siber_cat314:
Between the above command, and this, I should be able to get this set up. Thanks much.
