Mark, is still not working?  What happens in your sandbox if you
just try to run, as a command, either of:
    genpath -I.
or:
    genpath  -I. -I../include

If genpath isn't in your path call it out of the backingtree's
tools hostbin.  What do you see from:
    sbinfo SOURCEDIR

Finally, I just remembered a bug in genpath that it's a ksh script but
doesn't use -p in the #!/bin/ksh line, so it will source your .kshrc or
similar file if you have ENV set (I think that's the ksh variable name).
If this is your case, try doing "unset ENV" and then try it.

	My ODE build is suddenly not finding include files in my sandbox.  The 
include file of interest is specified in my makefile with the line:
 
INCFLAGS	= -I. -I../include 

	where the include file I need is in the ../include directory relative to 
my sanbox source files.  I am certain this was working recently as I have used 
the include entry in my Makefile this way for months w/o trouble.  For some 
reason the build is getting the include file needed from the backing tree, a 
mistake.  The build/compile line is:

submon[18] build
relative path: ./usr/sbin/cmon/submon.
cd ../../../../../obj/alpha/usr/sbin/cmon/submon
/usr/sde/osf1/build/clustwav3os.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/acc/cc   -st
d0 -EL -c  -DBSD44 -DMSG -DNLS -D__WCHAR_T_LEN=4 -Wf,-wchar32  -DMACH -DCMU
 -DOSF  -Dalpha -D__alpha__ -D__alpha  -Dunix -D__unix__    -D_SHARED_LIBRA
RIES  -O2 -Olimit 5000    -g -DMCHECK    -I  `genpath -I.` `genpath  -I. -I
../include  `  -I/usr/staff/longo/sb/cluster/export/alpha/usr/include -I/us
r/sde/osf1/build/clustwav3os.nightly/export/alpha/usr/include  ../../../../
../../src/usr/sbin/cmon/submon/postDevErr.c

	As you see, the `genpath  -I. -I../include  ` should work in this case, 
but it does not.  

	Can you please help?

	Josh,

> Mark, is still not working?

	I've worked around my problem by running "build" in my sanbox include 
file, which puts a copy of the include I need into the exports/alpha/usr/include 
are, which resulted in my build finding the sandbox include file.  Still, I 
would have expected the build to find the include file in the source tree of my 
sandbox via the "-I../include" option.  I'm almost completely sure this used to 
work...

	From my source directory 
/usr/staff/longo/sb/cluster/src/usr/sbin/cmon/submon when I run "genpath  -I. 
-I../include" I get:

submon[44] genpath -I. -I../include
-I. -I/usr/staff/longo/sb/cluster/src/usr/sbin/cmon/submon -I/usr/sde/osf1/
build/clustwav3os.nightly/src/usr/sbin/cmon/submon -I../include -I/usr/staf
f/longo/sb/cluster/src/usr/sbin/cmon/include -I/usr/sde/osf1/build/clustwav
3os.nightly/src/usr/sbin/cmon/include

	As you see, the include paths are getting set properly, though it's 
interesting that the relative paths are each immediately followed by an absolute 
path version of themselves.  Dunno why this doesn't work.

	I have no ~/.kshrc.

	In any case, as long as I remember to "build" the ../include directory 
after every include file edit, I'll be OK.  Too bad we don't have depends for 
that...

Glad you're working, but there's a mystery here.  Could there be a permission
problem reading in the clustwav3os.nightly files?   Make sure you're in
group staff==10.

	Josh,

	The problem has mysteriously vanished.

to recap:

	My build wasn't finding an include file in my sandbox (../include) in 
spite of my having a "-I../include" directive in the Makefile.  I'm almost 
completely certain this had previously worked.  I also verified 'genpath' was in 
my path and working properly.

	So I worked around the problem by cd'ing to the ../include file and 
typing "build" in order to put the needed include file into my sandbox 
/export/alpha/usr/include area, which enabled me to continue my work.  What I 
still didn't understand was why the "-I../include" directive wasn't finding the 
header file in ../include.

	Following the mail you just sent I checked that my group membership was  
staff=10, which it was, and that I have read (and write) permission on the 
../include file, which I do.  I decided to reproduce the problem and so removed 
the include file in question from my export tree and once again tried to build.  
This time it worked fine: the ../include file was found!

	Oh, well, I can't seem to reporoduce it now.  If I see it again I'll let 
you know...

	Mark
