Subject: why bother with 'cd .' ?
Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 00:52:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199906010452.AAA16501@ocalhost> (raw)
This seemed to confuse my /bin/sh:
cd . && \
CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=./config.h ./config.status
/bin/sh: .: bad directory
(now I can't tell you why it confused /bin/sh, sometimes it seems to work
and other times it gives that error)
could we have something like
if [ "$PWD" != "$SRC_DIR" ]
cd $SRC_DIR
fi
(using whatever the proper variables are)
It just seems like an unnecessary step which for some reason can cause confusion
