And here is the problem. Called process (hbmk2) is started in "project location", so you DO alter current dir for the subprocess, but you didn't correct detected output name accordingly. curdir for hbmk2 != curdir for HBIDE That's why I told a few e-mails back to either not alter current dir for subprocess, or correct the output name. You need to do the latter anyway, the only question is what is the base directory; if you alter it, it's the dir which you set as current dir, if you don't it's "CURDIR()". > Executing target: executable is detected by whatever means > I was/am adopting.

This should be irrelevant once you have an absolute path pointing to the target executable. The point is to have an absolute path formed based on a base dir and the output name detected (which can be relative or absolute). Though based on your description, it's unnecessary to change directory when launching hbmk2. I left it, but I still don't understand why you do it. It just adds complexity without any benefit. hbmk2 doesn't require any such tricks to make it work. >> I'm very sad you only hear the wrong solutions from >> my mails and I'm a little bit afraid to tell anything, >> since I'm not happy to help creating bad solutions. >> > > Me too, but believe me I could never find a satisfactory > way to detect.
