It never seems to execute the cd correctly. With the following definitions CLASSES=D:\classes The command D:\work>make --win32 -f d:\work\squash02\Makefile jar gives me the following output cd D:\classes ; jar -cvf d:\cm-build\checkmate-0.7.0\lib\classes.jar squ/ The filename,directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect make ***[jar] Error 1 D:\work> All the directories do exist but I just can't see what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, John. -----Original Message----- From: Fleischer, Karsten (K.)

Every single command line of the rule will be executed in its own shell process, thus you end up in the original current dir in the second statement. You can put the commands on a single line, seperated by a semicolon: cd $(CLASSES); jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/ Or you can use line continuation: cd $(CLASSES); \ jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/ Karsten -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
