vc6 dsw trying to find deps at wrong path?

[epu]

Hey,

Since my last post was user error, maybe you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Pointers to manual appreciated.

I have a .dsw that I can open in my VC6 ide and it finds the children ok, but when I set my VC6 action to build this .dsw, it tries to find the deps one directory up.

So, when I try to build C:\baz\foo\bar.dsw that depends on C:\baz\frob\frob.dsp, it prints

Processing 'C:\frob\frob.dsp'
Failed to open 'C:\frob\frob.dsp': No such file or directory

instead of the directory I expect, 'C:\baz\frob\frob.dsp'.

How does visual build process dependancies in a vc6 file and determine their paths? Is there a setting I need to toggle in my DSW, or a macro I can set?

Running msdev manually from the directory of C:\baz\foo\, like 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\bin\msdev.exe frob.dsw /MAKE all /rebuild' works ok.

The Make VC6 action combines the .dsw file path with each constituent .dsp file's path (if that path is relative). Please zip and post (or send to support@kinook.com) the .bld and .dsw+.dsp files where this is not working properly. Thanks.
