I am using ExtUtils::MakeMaker; to generate makefile. It runs gcc on my cpp files but copies my object files to current directory. How do i specify the destination folder where my .o files will be stored. I had mentioned the .o files in the OBJECT field.

OBJECT" => "des_dir/abc.o"

I get this error when i run the makefile

gcc: des_dir/abc.o: No such file or directory

Thanks

Why do you care where the `.o` files are? They are **not** installed. – daxim May 16 '13 at 20:43
I had mentioned them in OBJECT field, it looking for them. – PMat May 16 '13 at 20:47
please include your current Makefile.PL, and explain in more detail what you are trying to install? – Ether May 17 '13 at 17:30
