I am hoping some people can give me ideas on how to debug a problem I am having with rm when invoked from cygwin's make.exe, which is using sh as its shell. Basically, when I call "rm -r -f" from a makefile, it gives me errors about "Permission Denied, Directory Not Empty". This is the same error that I get when I try to manually rm a directory when I have a separate shell cd'd there. I think that somehow make or sh are cd'ed into the directory I am trying to rm, so it cannot be removed.
I am a newbie at debugging, so I am looking for specific ideas to try to narrow down the problem to one particular thing; i.e. sh, make, rm, or cygwin1.dll. I have tried replacing rm and the cygwin1.dll with different versions, but I get the same error. I also tried replacing sh with bash, same error. I plan on trying different versions of make and sh, but if anyone can suggest what to strace or which files I can plug printfs into, I would really appreciate it.
