well you could do something ugly like:
all: dirlist
top_dir := .
dirlist:
$(foreach dir_idx,\
$(subst subdir_,\
,\
$(foreach dir,\
$(top_dir),\
$(wildcard subdir_[0-9]*)\
)\
)\
,$(MAKE) -C subdir_$(dir_idx) target_$(dir_idx);\
)
# or for fans of clear-text encryption... put it all in one line
# $(foreach dir_idx,$(subst subdir_,,$(foreach dir,$(top_dir),$(wildcard
subdir_[0-9]*))),$(MAKE) -C subdir_$(dir_idx) target_$(dir_idx);)
which assumes that you have directories called subdir_# and want to build
target target_#, but I would say the above line is a good introduction how
to write very unreadable makefiles - so I don't know if that is such a good
idea - note also the limitation that it simply assumes that every entry
with the name subdir_# actually is a directory no check is made if this is
the case.
I guess the better approach will be a shell-call ;)
