Step 3 of 9: Setting Up the Directories

The next step is to establish the appropriate directory tree inside your root directory. Your directories should look exactly like the diagram below. If they do not, the Makefile will not be able to store your executable files in the proper sub-directory.

The following steps are the commands you need to execute at the prompt line in order to obtain such a structure:

Now you have two sub-directories - src and bin, lying in the pvm3 directory.

The src directory is where you will store the pvm source.c files, as well as the Makefile.aimk file (Be sure that you are in the src directory each time you try to compile your code). When you follow this structure, Makefile.aimk will compile your programs, and store the executable files in under your bin sub-directory.
