Hi friends! I have been bitten (or beaten, I guess both convey the same idea :) but the following difference between `cd dir && make` vs. `make -C dir`:
> $ cat foo.dir/Makefile > all: > cd bar && make > make -C bar > $ cat bar.dir/Makefile > all: > pwd > $ ls -l foo.dir > total 8 > -rw-r--r-- 1 akim wheel 34 10 nov 14:11 Makefile > lrwxr-xr-x 1 akim wheel 10 10 nov 14:11 bar -> ../bar.dir > $ make -C foo.dir > cd bar && make > pwd > /private/tmp/foo.dir/bar > make -C bar > pwd > /private/tmp/bar.dir in other words, cd respects my symlinks, but make -C resolves them. It turns out that on the project I work on, due to specific layout constraints (golang trees…) resolving the symlink breaks everything. So I cannot use -C. Yet I did not see anything about this in the documentation, and I don’t know whether this is on purpose. Cheers!
