That, I already knew.
It was probably one of the first errors I got when
I started out with makefiles :-)

My Sources are in the same directory as the makefile


Hmmm....
This is still very strange. I'm sure that there was not a space after the
"\",
because I use emacs, and emacs is kind enough to automatically strip any
spaces
behind a "\" when you're in Makefile mode.

I've changed my makefile again, and put a space in between the "-I." and the
"\" again.
and it still compiles!
So now, my makefile looks exactly the same is it did before (when it wasn't
compiling)
and now, it _does_ compile!
Beats me....


Greets,
Lorenzo
