Output of make has full path but relative would be neater

[Stephen Biggs-Fox]

Run make and you get some output lines similar to:

Compiling: /path/to/repo/src/file.f90

This is messy when /path/to/repo is a long path. Might this be better as:

Compiling: src/file.f90

since everything should be within the repository?

I don’t think this is a bug.

We could probably get relative paths working robustly but it's a bit easier currently to use the full path -- there were too many issues appearing in individual cases due to relative paths. We could of course just make the message print`$(notdir $(whatever_thing_is_currently_there)) instead but use absolute paths internally.

Fair enough, not a bug. Either way, it’s certainly not particularly important (hence marked as trivial) - just thought it would be an improvement so thought I’d mention it.

Using absolute path internally but displaying relative path in the output seems like the easiest solution, especially if there are issues with using relative paths internally.
