g++ -MM -MT

[Stephen Bianchi]

This is great (see below), but is there a way to write out the rule as:
../../directory/c.o: c.cpp

I want to keep the object files in a separate directory from the source 
files.

Thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevermind. It's as easy as replacing the Makefile line:

$(CPP) -MM $(CPPFLAGS) `echo $$i | sed "s/\(.*\)\\.o$$/\1.cpp/"` >> depend

with:

$(CPP) -MM -MT $$i $(CPPFLAGS) `echo $$i | sed "s/\(.*\)\\.o$$/\1.cpp/"` 
 >> depend

Sorry for the spam :)
