The way how umk handles command line parameters is (politely put) strange. It is pretty non-standard and I'm not really surprised that it can cause trouble.

Simple workaround would be to put your code in a subdirectory, e.g.:

test-1.0
 + debian
 |  + rules
 + MyApp
 |  + MyApp.upp
 |  + MyApp.cpp
 + other files and directories ...

Better would be to fix the command line handling. I'll try to look at it, but I'm not sure if it'll be possible without breaking some of the behavior.

The best would be to rewrite the CLI interface completely. Preferably using some standards respecting class for simple argument parsing that could become part of U++ (I miss it in some of my apps too Smile

).

Best regards,
Honza
