Is there a way to get FPC Make to enter its target DIRS before compiling the units in the current directory?

I've got a unit that depends on another unit being compiled first that is in a sub-directory, even though I list the dirs first Make trys to compile the current dir first.

Thx.. ^_^

There is no way without hacking the Makefile/fpcmake. You can workaround not having files in the current dir, but also in a subdir.

Just enter a rule in the Makefile.fpc:

[Rules]
myunit.ppu: myunit.pp dirname_all

That should do it.

Thanks Micheal & Peter, I kinda figured that was the case. I think I'll just move it to a sub-directory like you suggested peter because I'd rather not have to re-edit the raw Makefile every time I generate it.

Thanks again!
This newsboard is part of what makes FPC so damn great! All of you guys rawk!

re-edit Makefile is not necessary. You can add it also to Makefile.fpc under the [rules] section. That section will be included directly in the generated Makefile
