Hi

Sorry if this is a FAQ but I've searched the mail archive and didn't find
any solution.

Whenever I try to execute make in a subdirectory, es:

target : dir1
	cd dir1 ; make all

make fails saying that he is unable to open temporary file w:/xxx/yyy/dj000000

The same happened when compliling GNU Shell Utils when the makefile tries
to generate some .c files by making a sed and redirecting output using '>'.
I was able to bypass the problem using the redir command.

I usually work with DOS 5.0 and DJGPP V2 (it should be a fairly recent update)
and COMMAND.COM as a shell.

Any help and suggestion?

Thank You
