Running build not from root directory

I’ve written some conanfile. It loads a file, check it, unzip and remove:

class IconvConan(ConanFile):
    name = "iconv"
    version = "1.14"
    generators = "cmake"
    settings = "os", "arch", "compiler", "build_type"
    folder_name = "lib" + name + "-" + version

        zip_name = self.folder_name + ".tar.gz"
        download("http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/" + zip_name, zip_name)
        check_md5(zip_name, "e34509b1623cec449dfeb73d7ce9c6c6")
        unzip(zip_name)
        os.unlink(zip_name)

You can see it unzipping it in separate directory folder_name. When I want to build, I should configure the library in that directory.

    def build(self):
        env = ConfigureEnvironment(self.deps_cpp_info, self.settings)

        self.run(env.command_line + " ./configure --disable-shared --with-pic", cwd=self.folder_name)
        self.run(env.command_line + " make", cwd=self.folder_name)

Everything’s fine but windows because ConfigureEnvironment creates bat file which I should execute. Finally I get the error:

iconv/1.14@sbis/stable: WARN: Build folder C:\Users\ma.rybakov\.conan\data\iconv\1.14\sbis\stable\build\367de09a2d03464b27a9f07e2d4bb18479455580
ERROR: iconv: Error 1 while executing call _conan_env.bat ./configure --disable-shared --with-pic

What should I do?

You are right, I should have used the initial && too! Don’t know why my code works! Damn Win command line syntax! LOL

A small suggestion, you can pass a conanfile to ConfigureEnvironment():

env = ConfigureEnvironment(self)

Shorter, and it also handles some extra cases.

I’ve failed with:

self.run(env.command_line + " && cd %s &&  ./configure --disable-shared --with-pic" % self.folder_name)

but you helped me. First && is unnecessary. Thanks a lot!
