Ah, ok -- you are using the absolute file name when compiling.
That seems weird to me, but I understand now.

I think instead of 'strstr' as a test, you want strncmp, followed by a
check to make sure that either the compilation directory ends with a
directory separator, or the following character in the source file name
is one.
