#2505 light cannot be run from makefile

[Jouni Aro]

When I try to run a light command from a makefile task, I get the following error. This task works frin from a batch file (but I also get the same error if I try to run the batch from the makefile).

The workaround is to make sure the temp folder exists before running light.
