SYMPTOMS
Creating a program list with dependencies in directories other than the project (makefile) directory may result in the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.0 and 1.1 recording the wrong paths to these dependencies.



RESOLUTION
Changing the location of the project makefile or changing the names of the subdirectories will generate the correct paths for dependencies in the makefile.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The following steps illustrate the problem:
 * 1) Create subdirectories named TEST and TESTA under the same directory, with sample files FILE1.C in TEST and FILE2.C in TESTA.
 * 2) Invoke PWB from the TESTA directory.
 * 3) Create a program list.
 * 4) Add FILE1.C and FILE2.C with full path.
 * 5) Save the list.

The resulting makefile will contain the line:

OBJS = file2.c file1.c

The correct line should read:

OBJS = file2.c ..\TEST\file1.c
