I have tried:
M-x compile
In minibuffer:  cd /plink:..:<pathToGoTo>  && ./build.sh
It failed because the sh shell actually tried to find the /plink directory

Then I tried
M-x compile
cd <pathToGoTo> && ./build.sh

Then it failed with:
No such dir found via CDPATH env variable (I assume this is my local
windows box)
