You can use 'make -C build/whatever' to avoid having to change directory. The odd one out here is configure, where you have to say (cd build/whatever && ../../configure ...) I have occasionally wondered if we should add an equivalent to make's -C option to configure, but AFAIX autoconf-configures don't have it, so it would be an odd non-standardism. thanks -- PMM
