BTW the example I sent was obviously a cut down to illustrate the problem. I actually construct a variable that points to the root directory of the checked out CVS view (or a default an environment variable if that directory is not under CVS yet), that enables me to specify the "absolute path" to my scripts (or other) directories. Like this:
CVSVIEW = $(shell if [ -e CVS/Repository ]; then echo ${CURDIR} | sed -e "s|`cat CVS/Repository | sed -e "s|^[^/]*||"`||"; else echo $$CVSVIEW; fi)
bus_pack-pkg.vhd : ${CVSVIEW}/doc/mem_map.csv ${CVSVIEW}/etc/bus_pack.pl
perl ${CVSVIEW}/etc/bus_pack.pl -v ${CVSVIEW}/doc/mem_map.csv bus_pack-pkg.vhd
Even though it now working, is there a better way of doing this?

The GNU make variable CURDIR is set by make to the current working directory of the executing make. This is probably the variable you want.
Hope this helps, -- Robert
