Makefile question? [SOLVED]

Hi, I have a problem with my makefile... the thing is that I have this script which works from shell without problem:

cd DISTR
LHA -aer a "Archive" "ProgDir"
cd /

But I want to do this stuff in my makefile, so I've added "; \" so it will continue in the the same shell. And my makefile looks like this:

//snip//
lha :
	cd DISTR; \
	LHA -aer a "Archive" "ProgDir"; \
	cd /
 
//snip//

But it won't work? My script however and makefile works fine except this part, what am I doing wrong, any ideas? GNU Make 3.81 on OS4.1u2.

You need something

You need something like: ----------------

DISTR := Disk:distribution
 
lha:
<tab>@cd $(DISTR)
<tab>@lha -aer a "Archive" "ProgDir"
<tab>@cd /

---------------- Simon

Thanks for the answer :) I

Thanks for the answer :) I tried it and various forms of it but I did not get it to work :/ For, example:

DISTR := "ram:"
 
lha:
	@dir $(DISTR)
	@cd $(DISTR)
	@dir

Does not work as I expected, the first dir [4] shows ram: but the second dir shows my current dir, I would like to stay in the directory given by [5] so the next dir [6] shows ram: as well. Other ideas?

No, sorry. My makefile skills

No, sorry. My makefile skills are not that great. I tried it here with the same results as you. Simon

Thanks anyway, after further

Thanks anyway, after further doc reading I found the solution :-) Ending the line with "@@\" will continue the shell execution, like:

DISTR := "ram:"
 
lha:
	dir $(DISTR)
	cd $(DISTR)@@\
	dir

Another method that doesn't

Another method that doesn't involve using cd command would be to put a Makefile in $(DISTR) with the lha command and then put something like "make -C $(DISTR) lha" command in your main Makefile.
