multiple bash commands in a line

I'm trying to write multiple bash commands in a single line

source ~/.profile ; vex dl ; cd ~/dl ; make install

However this does'nt do anything. However when I type exit and it runs make install and dies on the first line. However when I run these separately on the command line, everything works fine. I can't see why this does'nt work. Suggestions anyone?

After reading some documentation on vex; it seems you want to run make install in the virtual environment from the dl directory.

This is not bash issue/question but more a vex question.

Try this instead:

source ~/.profile ; vex dl bash -c build.sh

Build.sh should be script that will cd to the dl directory and run make install. The virtual environment will "deactivate" once the script finishes.
