Re: make can not find .cpp file, any general comments or suggestions to debug?

[Lin George]

Thanks Paul!


I have solved this problem today. It is caused by
CFLAGS variable, which should be CXXFLAGS variable in
g++ -- I mis-defined the variable name CFLAGS in g++.

In my CFLAGS, I specified header file path (-I), so
related header files can not be found.


regards,
George
