Hello all,

I've fixed my Makefile. Here's a working version, in case it will be of
help to someone else. Oh, by-the-way, this is for GNU make, not BSD
make.

#### Begin Makefile ####

## Makefile for GNU make

## compiler settings
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -g 

## directory layout
BASEDIR = ../alice
SRCDIR = $(BASEDIR)/sources/
OBJDIR = $(BASEDIR)/objects/
DOCDIR = $(BASEDIR)/documentation

## sources
SRC = main.c help.c status.c buffer.c device.c error.c insane.c

## objects
OBJ = main.o help.o status.o buffer.o device.o error.o insane.o

## list of objects containing relative path for each
OBJLIST = $(addprefix $(OBJDIR), $(OBJ))

## pathes for make to search
VPATH = $(SRCDIR) $(OBJDIR)

alice: $(OBJ)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJLIST)

%.o: %.c alice.h
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $(OBJDIR)$@
	
clean:
	rm $(OBJLIST) *.core

distclean: clean
	rm -r *~

#### End Makefile ####
