Hi,
I am using GNU make 3.79 on a Solaris 2.5.1.
Consider the following Makefile fragment:
SUBDIRS = ok-dir-1 bad-dir ok-dir-2
all.simple:
$(foreach dir,$(SUBDIRS),$(MAKE) -C $(dir) all;)
The all targets in ok-dir-1 and ok-dir-2 return an exit status of 0.
The bad-dir all target exits with an error.
However, the top level all target returns success.
I would like to prevent it.
If any of the directories return false, I would like the top level make
to return false.
Is the following a good idea?
all:
status=0;\
$(foreach dir,$(SUBDIRS),$(MAKE) -C $(dir) all;\
state=$$?;\
if test $$state -ne 0; then status=$$state; fi;)\
exit $$status
Are there other ways?
Regards
Sankar
