From 48f1e383ca2322ffbfbc66cd7c0325b97f8d36a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Stapelberg Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2012 17:00:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] makefile: canonicalize path when compiling Compilers store the path with which they were called in the debug symbols. Therefore, this will make backtraces show something like ../i3-4.2/src/main.c instead of src/main.c.
