If the *I* was assuming the script would perform the 'make clean' which I thought was the purpose of the script to keep me from having to remember all the things to type. > latter the script is only executing the clean in the > i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cinstall directory *I* don't see this in the script - as the cd to i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cinstall is a comment (unless # character is no longer a comment) would this not mean that the previous cd to /usr/develop/obj would be the last one to occur and thus the script would be running the 'make clean' in that directory. > Which is not in the top build > directory! The top directory is /usr/develop/obj which was the last place cd'd to before the make clean. > If the former I don't understand why it would work for me > and not you. *I* don't either, obviously - maybe it's the evil Win95 vs WinNt thing again. I can only assume my script does not type so well and in the future *I* must type the 'make clean' myself from the appropriate directory instead of relying on a script to perform that action for me. If I upset you by insinuating that make would not do recursion - my apologies. I obviously made an incorrect assumption and once again shot my mouth off. One of these days I hope to learn to engage my brain before engaging my mouth.
