Oh, of course, it's a builtin in both. Doh! It's the 'sh' executable that is getting in the way, not 'cd' at all. Make looks for 'sh' in order to run the ($shell ...) command. 1) Do you have SHELL set in your environment vars? 2) Are you using a version of make that understands the MAKE_MODE variable or the --win32 and --unix flags? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
