[SOLVED] A simple .bashrc setting messes up makepkg

I was looking for tips on using the terminal when I found one where you could quickly access subdirectories in a folder by specifying "export CDPATH=/home/folder" in .bashrc.

Unfortunately, as I've just recently found out, this also causes makepkg to fail. You get something like this:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating src/config.hpp
config.status: executing depfiles commands
Making all in src
/bin/sh: line 17: cd: src: No such file or directory
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...

I added it to the wiki earlier, and I have just removed it.

what package causes this?

I first had that error with apvlv. I thought there was something wrong with that package only, and then I tried gnaural2. That coughed up the same error, so I got suspicious, removed the setting, and both packages compiled without problems.

can you please file a bug report in the pacman section. This does not seem a good thing...

On second thoughts, this seems to be a problem with the Makefile

You probably want "export CDPATH=.:/home/folder" anyway

Thanks Allan. Adding in .: fixes the problem.

And I had just signed up to the bugtracker too....
