Karsten,
I have tried both and neither works.
It never seems to execute the cd correctly.
With the following definitions
CLASSES=D:\classes
The command
D:\work>make --win32 -f d:\work\squash02\Makefile jar
gives me the following output
cd D:\classes ; jar -cvf d:\cm-build\checkmate-0.7.0\lib\classes.jar squ/
The filename,directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect
make ***[jar] Error 1
D:\work>
All the directories do exist but I just can't see what is wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John.

Every single command line of the rule will be executed in its own shell
process, thus you end up in the original current dir in the second
statement.
You can put the commands on a single line, seperated by a semicolon:
cd $(CLASSES); jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/
Or you can use line continuation:
cd $(CLASSES); \
jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/
