I want to change the makefile so that it generates smaug.exe and the DNS resolver to the smaugfuss area folder instead of the src folder.

I have tried changing different things in the Makefile and have tried looking at tutorials online but can't seem to get it to work.

Can someone help me?

The simplest way of achieving that is to not do it, but to simply change to the area folder and type:


ln -s ../src/smaug.exe


What that does is make a "soft link" between the file smaug.exe in the src folder and the current folder.

Now if you type "ls -l smaug*" you see:


lrwxrwxrwx    1 nick     nick           12 May 17 16:47 smaug -> ../src/smaug


That means you can run smaug from this directory (you would need to type ./smaug) but it actually picks it up from the linked directory.
