The following Project works fine with 1.82 
When I open it with VX, it will automaticaly drop the specified path
for "MyFuncs.obj" 
The project will not link anymore complaining about double definition!

//*****************************************
[Project.xpj]
     Test.dll

[Test.dll]
     COMPILE       = xpp
     COMPILE_FLAGS = /DLL:DYNAMIC /ga /q /w
     DEBUG         = no
     GUI           = yes
     LINKER        = ALINK
     LINK_FLAGS    = /dll
     RC_COMPILE    = ARC
     RC_FLAGS      = /v
 $START-AUTODEPEND
     Test.obj
     ..\MyFuncs\MyFuncs.obj   <=== VX converts to "MyFuncs.obj"
 $STOP-AUTODEPEND
     Test.prg
     ..\MyFuncs\MyFuncs.prg
//*****************************************

Is it me... or is it me?

Hi Alain,

Andreas Gehrs-Pahls allready has reported this defect with another
symptom. VX and pbuild work different here.
We have to fix this. In the meantime you can workaround the problem
by adding a directory to the project into which all objects are
created:
   (Shift+Ctrl+F11) opens the build settings dialog
   goto Pbuild Tab page
   Fill the edit Field objdir (with objdir for example)

   now all objs are created in this directory

The problem is: VX does not SAVE this setting 
When I quit VX, I answer [Yes to All] to save everything.
When I come back The obj directory is GONE!!!
So I'm back to square one

Hm, I can't reproduce this, when I do exactly what you describe,
it works at my place.

Another tip: you can also edit the XPJ fiel directly from the
IDE: in th eprojectmanager, rightclick on the project.xpj
fiel on the top (root) of thr project tree and select "view source code".
Despite the menu item name, it is also possible to edit and
save the xpj file from there (only recomended if you know
what you are doing, but obviously, changing the obj_dir shouldn't harm),
 not only to view it.

You even could change the xpj file ouside the vxIDE if you realy want,
as far as I see, great care was taken that you can switch between
working with the IDE and without the IDE any time.

BTW, you probably want to use "Build - rebuild dependencioes"
after changing the obj_dir path by either method.

HTH and all the best,
Kai
