Hi there,
I am trying to create a system of make files for my project, so as to make
adding extra elements to the system is as easy as possible. I have created a
make file called do_subdirs.mk which has the following -
# ---- do_subdirs.mk ---
subdirs:
$(foreach SUBDIR, $(SUBDIRS), $(MAKE) -C $(SUBDIR);)
# --- eof ---
So to have a makefile enter a list of sub directories I just need -
# ----
SUBDIRS = dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4
include ../mk/do_subdirs.mk
# ----
This all works, which is nice. The one problem being that the macro expands to
make -C dir1; make -C dir2; make -C dir3; make -C dir4;
so if one of the makes fails, it doesn't fail the entire make (I assume to
only takes the return code from the left/right most make). So my question is,
how do I achieve the same but have the make fail if any make fails. I know I
could achieve it with a shell script, but I'd rather avoid it if possible.
Cheers,
Martin McCann
