- I'm in the process of migrating from Borland to Watcom C++. I'm
- also porting all of my make files to use Watcom's make utility.
- I have had a lot of trouble with this software. Here's an
- example of one of my problems:
-
- test : .SYMBOLIC
- cwd
- md testdir
-
- Now, shouldn't the above create the directory, TESTDIR in the
- current directory? What happens is that it always creates it in
- C:\TESTDIR, even when my makefile is located in D:\USR\WTEST.
-
- I wrote the small utility cwd to just display the current
- working directory to find out where wmake thought it was. It
- displays the correct directory (D:\USR\WTEST).
-
- That was my test using Watcom C++ 10.0. My other problems seem
- to be 10.50 specific so far. Running the same makefile will
- produce error messages that say it can't execute md or even
- echo. Any ideas on this one?
-
- Any help would be much appreciated!
