makefiles and sccs

[usenet at ge1cbx.UUCP]

The .c~ trick for sccs files works fine when the sccs files are located in
the directory one does the make in.  Few projects I know of can make use of
this; typical setup is sccs somewhere else and development directories where
makes and edits are made.

To support sccs files in another path, I have to do

OFILES = main.o a.o c.o zx.o etc.o
CFILES = main.c a.c c.c zx.c etc.c

$(CFILES):
	get ...


There's gotta be a better way than the above, hopefully an implicit rule of
some sort.  If you know of one, please email.


Thanks in advance,
