subject: makefile problems

ac>> Can somebody could tell me why Watcom Make 3.2 reports "Error(F38): 
ac>> Unable to make (foo\bar.obj)" with the following makefile?  It works 

ac>> objs=foo/bar.obj

ac>> mytarget.lib: $(objs)

> I don't know.  But why are you using "/" instead of "\"?

ac> "/" was an experiment.

makefile".  BFN.  Paul. 

ac> Either way it still breaks WMAKE.

What about with "wmake -f makefile"?  You may have to stuff
around with different continuation characters then though.  BFN.  Paul.
