After the obvious suggestion to search the net for a
paper titled "Recursive Make Considered Harmful", i
have a few feelings:
1. Check your makefile. Most probably you are using a shell script
like this
all: for x in $DIRS\
(cd $x ; make)
This will of course not work, since lowerlevel's make's retgurn
code is being ignored.
Instead try something like this:
(cd $x ; make ; if $? != 0 exit 1 )
(suit to your particular /bin/sh )
2. something like this
i write a macro to have each directory in $DIRS with a _dir extension
( e.g. (src lib) ==> (src_dir lib_dir)
And have rule such as
all_dir: $(DIRS_dir)
$(DIRS_dir):
cd $@ && make @@ $@ is name of target, if my memory serves me right.
