But isn't CWD in shell always equal to the current dir? Let's see ...
uh no. That's PWD:
PWD The current working directory as set by the cd com
mand.
So that's OK.

Please make yourself comprehensible! This is AWFUL! What "doinst.sh"
script? What "these lines"? Are you able to write anything that anyone
else is able to understand?

What "link"? What do you mean by "install"? What do you mean by
"properly"? You mean untar or installpkg, right? DO NOT INTERPRET!
Just show.

If all you are complaining about is lack of a correct link after using
installpkg, don't worry about it. I daresay one of the slackware build
commands (which?!!) is responsible for compiling a list of links that
have to be added into a doinst.sh script. The above two lines look
like generated output that one would expect to be in a doinst.sh script
If they are not the lines you want, and to me they look as though they
build plugins/plugins, pointing to the wrong place, then you have two
possibilities to consider:
1) either the slackware build command that makes the doinst.sh
is buggy
2) or your link was wrong in the first place.
I would give them about 50/50 probability. Go check!
