Each command are executed in their own shell. So the "cd Documentation/DocBook" will have no effect. You need to do something like: cd Documentation/DocBook && rm -f $(clean-files) && rm -rf $(clean-dirs) Or the one I would prefer: rm -f $(call objectify, $(clean-files)) rm -rf $(call objectify, $(clean-dirs)) In the command section of the above rule.
