actually, I recommend recursive make to a small degree in any case. Even if you modify the tree as quoted above, you has to prefix everything in the real build with "crt/", which is hardly convenient. So you would have to additionally move the contents of crt/ to the top level directory, to get only one Makefile. If you modify the structure, you might get away with only two makefiles: the top level (which would also handle doc and hdr) and crt/Makefile. (And perhaps a third one for the AM_CFLAGS trick from the other thread.) But I guess it might be more convenient for you to keep the directory structure as it is and having: Makefile mingw-w64-crt/Makefile mingw-w64-doc/Makefile mingw-w64-headers/Makefile Returning back to the article "Recursive make considered harmful", the worst thing is something like lib/Makefile and src/Makefile, where the C code from lib/ and src/ forms the main program. Having a separate doc/Makefile is obviously much less harmful. Stepan
