FYI, this command will only work if the makefile has a known name (eg Makefile, makefile, or GNUmakefile). It will not work if the makefile's name is foo.mk. > * I put a dash in front of the command, so that if it fails (because > the directory doesn't exist, for example) your top-level make will > *not* fail -- I suspect this is what you want. I would think one would want the build to fail if one of the submakes fail. Noel -- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
