Hi! You need to read up on make's rules for multiple commands. In brief, you need to change the commands to a single virtual line. On a unix machine that would be done like this: subst K: D:... ; \ cd /D K: ; \ Z:\\tools\\program.exe Note the semicolons and backslashes at the end of each line. i have NO idea if the windows shell supports the semicolon as a separator, though. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
