makefile !!!

Hi all,

I have browsed dejanews, and found that
all of these groups talk about makefiles somewhere, so I hope that I'll find someone knowledgable.

We are using:

Server:

AIX 		Version 4
Oracle		7.2.3.0.0
pro-c		7.1.2.0.0

Client:
Windows for Workgroups 3.11
Debugger: Exceed by Hummingbird. Starts with X-start.

We program embedded SQL programs in C. We are having a lot of problems with our makefiles .

We have either one or both of these symptoms. 1) the makefile cannot find the "include"d files (using ", or <>, makes no difference.) unless we include the whole path.
2) if we can get the program to compile, then the debugger won't work.

How's that for frustrating?

Now, the specification is, that users must edit their test programs in their own directory. When everything is working right (and only then), everything is copied to the source code directory, and recompiled there. We are not going to use version control until after a program is completed and being tested on live data.

So, the questions are:

1)
Just like the DOS command PATH, how do we get the makefile/compiler to look/search for "include"d files:

a)	in the same directory that the source code is in
b)	in a standard library
c)	anywhere else that we want to specify

2)
Where can I find some really good documentation on Oracle's makefiles?

I must say, I've never seen compiling so complicated. In every other language, it's just, compile.

Please respond by email to:

Thanks in advance,

Rodger
