parentobjectdir

This variable changes the default directory in which to copy objects built from the parentobject target.

Syntax

    parentobjectdir: path
Argument path The directory for parentobject targets. If you omit this variable, the target copies the files to the ObjectFiles directory in the parent directory. Use only paths based on the current directory or a known directory tree. Do not use a declaration scoped to a specific user volume.

Example

Change the destination of parentobject to copy objects to the ObjectFiles directory in a project called Sample in the parent directory.

    parentobjetdir: .../Samples/ObjectFiles/
CAUTION Do not depend on directories that can change in other projects. In the example, if the Samples *.PinkMake file ever has a different $ObjDir (set with objectdir), this declaration might copy the built object to the wrong place.
