Current dir in makefile?

Post by CodeCat »

This is probably a stupid question, but is there some predefined variable or something else in (GNU) makefiles that expands to the current directory? I want it to run a command that requires only absolute pathnames, so rather than tying it to one dir I would prefer it if make could fill it in. Looked in the make manual, but didn't find anything useful there.

Try shelling pwd and grabbing the output.

$(CURDIR)
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
