Makefile question


Hi all,

I am new to Makefile. The question is:

I have a large number of .c files in a directory other than the directory where Makefile resides. The structure is like:

----/
|
|---- build
| |
| |--- linux
| |
| |- Makefile
|
|-----src
| |
| |--- *.c

In the Makefile, I have a list of .c files defined as:

SRCS=file1.c file2.c ..... file100.c

The Makefile was in the same directory with all the .c files and the following line works.

%(CC) $(CFLAG) -c $(SRCS)

However, as the Makefile is moved to the new directory. It cannot find those source file any more.

My question is how I should define the path so that Makefile can find all the .c files in the src directory.

I don't want to add the path name manually to each .c file. There must be a standard way to doing this.

Can anyone help me?

Regards,
Ray

Code:
cd src
type 'man bash' for more informations about the cd command
