Subj: 	make / build in source directories ??

Hi There,

How can one cause make and/or build to refrain from changing directories
before executing any commands?  I tried setting my object_base to be the
same as the source_base, but that didn't help.

Thanks,

The culprit here is not $object_base but $OBJECTDIR.
In your sandbox's rc_files, edit local and add the line:

unsetenv OBJECTDIR 

anywhere after the line:

include ./shared

I'm not clear on what environment you're trying to do this in, but
one way to keep make at home is to create a Makeconf file in the
directory.
