It's been a while since I actually did anything with omake, but...

To get vmounted file references work, you need to make sure that file
names are treated as such, and not as strings.

Does it help to use $(file src/src.cpp) etc instead?

Obviously that filename didn't get vmount-transformed.

Did the cpp files compile OK, then?
