The combination of commands fails in CMD.exe. A simple way to test is
as follows:
D:\tmp\build\emacs\emacs\lisp
dky@MATRIXDEI$ cd . ; dir
The system cannot find the path specified.
If you need "cd .", we have to do it on seperate lines.
ex:
cd $(srcdir)
$(MAKEINFO) pgg.texi
and not:
cd $(srcdir) ;$(MAKEINFO) pgg.texi
