Question about vpath listed in Database output

[Jamulla, John D. (AMHERST)]

Hello,

I have a complicated make system. I tried to use gmake -p (among other
options) to dump the database to a file and see what I get for 'vpath'.
I didn't completely make the make system myself, so there's parts of it
I don't understand well.

Here's the command line I use:
/usr/freeware/bin/gmake MAKE_LEVEL=personal MAKE_COLOR=one
MAKE_HARDWARE_TYPE=opengl MAKE_DEBUG_IND=debug MAKE_VERBOSITY=v0
MAKE_GROUP_ROOT=/net/riss/riss01/dev_grp_011
MAKE_PERSONAL_ROOT=/net/riss/riss05/jdj/dev11
MAKE_INCLUDE_DIR=/net/riss/riss01/dev_grp_011/scripts/build_scripts
MAKE_MULTIGEN_ROOT=/usr/local/MultiGen/mgapi
MAKE_SCRAMNET_ROOT=/usr/scramnet
MAKE_LICENSE_ROOT=/net/riss/riss01/apps/SentLM MAKE_LICENSE=no
MAKE_ALIAS=yes MAKE_C_COMPILER_ABI=n32 MAKE_ADA_COMPILER_ABI=n32
MAKE_GNU_LIBROOT=/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6-n32/2.8.1
MAKE_GNU_VADSROOT=/usr/adainclude/vads_if MAKE_TCPU=r10000
MAKE_MIPSISA=mips4 MAKE_PFVER=24 MAKE_BENCHMARKING=0 MAKE_PRECOMPS=
MAKE_ECHO=0

I'm confused since I see 3 different "sections" of vpath's and no VPATH
listed (didn't expect to see VPATH).

I see 3 different messages about the database being printed in the
output I saved. Does this mean gmake ran 3 times? I know it will run at
least 2 times (becuase we make it change dirs in a target, then re-run).
The first printing mesage comes after I see a bunch of CC commands to
make dependency files.
The 2nd message comes after it built the 2  object files, and updated
it's archive.
2rd one comes after it did "nothing"


I can't tell why these vpath settings are what they are (meaning there's
only 1 place in my makefiles where vpath's are set - so I think there
should only be 1 group of them in the database listing - though it makes
sense there would be 3 if it's running 3 times).

Oone of the sets (the last one listed) has "bad" paths and I am trying
to figure out why they are in there.

Here's the sections and some of what's around them...
