OK this helps, now my makefile looks something like this:

VPATH = e:/sahab/cproj/massacre/source;e:/sahab/cproj/massacre/inter

; Do you know of a better way of doing this?  If so, please E-mail me...
mass.exe : massacur.o object.o screen.o svga.o palette.o bitmap.o
sprite.o res...
        gcc -g -s massacur.o object.o svga.o screen.o palette.o bitmap.o
sprit...

%.o : %.cc
        gcc -g -c $< -o $@

clean :
        del inter/*.o
        del *.exe

It finds the source files in the source directory (sure enough) but puts
all the files in the root project directory...

So:

E:\SAHAB\CPROJ\MASSACRE\SOURCE> SOURCES sure enough
E:\SAHAB\CPROJ\MASSACRE> *.o and *.exe go here where I want it to put it
in
"    "    "       "    \INTER> is there something I'm missing?

Like do make the %.o : %.cc line read:

gcc -g -c $< -o E:/SAHAB/CPROJ/MASSACRE/INTER/$@  ?

THANX in ADVANCE...
