Sure. Using portable Make, you can write
all.simple:
for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do \
$(MAKE) -C $$dir || exit 1; \
done
or using GNU extensions
all.simple:
$(foreach dir,$(SUBDIRS),$(MAKE) -C $(dir) all || exit 1;)
Neither of these handle `make -k' nicely or `make -j' nicely, though,
so you may want a different solution, e.g. one along the lines of
this
all.simple: $(SUBDIRS)
.PHONY: $(SUBDIRS)
$(SUBDIRS):
$(MAKE) -C $*
or this
all.simple: $(SUBDIRS:=.dir)
%.dir:
$(MAKE) -C $*
(I didn't test any of these.)
