SYMPTOMS
The Developer Studio generated Makefile contains absolute path names for source files.



CAUSE
The source files reside in a directory other than the project directory.



RESOLUTION
Modify the Makefile to use relative paths by opening the .mak file in text mode.

CAUTION: Be extremely careful not to add any extra spaces or unexpected characters.

NOTE: Anytime the IDE writes to the .mak file, your changes are overwritten and the full path name is re-installed. Make a backup copy of the .mak file immediately after adding the relative paths to ensure that changes can be re-entered if there is a problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.
