[Mingw-users] Make cd troubles

[Gisle V. <gv...@br...>]

It's me agins with another Mingw32-make v.380 problem.
(the depend problem of yesterday I fixed by splitting up into
several makefiles. No other way).

I'm having troubles forcing make to cd into a dir to exec 
a perl script. I have a Common.MingW file which is included 
from several Makefiles in sub-directories (the level varies):

SHELL = /bin/bash
BROOT = g:/MingW/src/inet/bind

$(BROOT)/versions.h: $(BROOT)/version
    ch $(BROOT)/win32utils
    perl ./makeversion.pl

The script *must* be run in this dir. I assume make is smart enough
to chdir back to it origin when the block is done. But make always 
complains

cd g:/MingW/src/inet/bind/win32utils
/usr/bin/sh: cd: g:/MingW/src/inet/bind/win32utils: No such file or directory

What nonsense is this? I assume it's my installation of MSYS and it's
sh; GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release.  Here's my /MingW/msys/etc/fstab 
if that matters:
g:/                   /
g:/MingW/src        /usr/src
g:/MingW/msys/bin   /usr/bin
g:/MingW/msys/local /usr/local
