We have some nmake scripts which do cross directory builds on NT and I'd like M-x next-error to process the relative pathnames correctly. I have left compilation-leave-directory-regexp and compilation-enter-directory-regexp as is and actually added some @echo : Entering directory `$(ROOT)' @echo : Leaving directory `$(ROOT)' statements to the build script and it partially works, but it does require makefile changes instead of being support automatically by make. Another option would be to modify compilation-parse-errors to recognize all cd command and "interpret them" without doing the dirstack manipulation. Does anyone have such a patch? (Yes, I'd rather use GNU make but there are quite a few others working on the project and I can't convince everyone to switch.) thanks
