Your explanation hits the nail on the head. You are correct about the
speed issues and the parallel make issues inherent in my system.
The reason I chose recursive in the first place was for a couple of
reasons:
1. I want to be able to run make in the sub-directory and have it
work
2. I want to use the same variable namespace for all the makefiles.
For example, I don't want one of my users to have to create
variable names like:
my_program_OBJ := this.o that.o
I want them to be able to write:
OBJ := this.o that.o
This is an oversimplified example for the purposes of making the
point. I want them to be able to copy their neighbor's Makefile
and not have to change all the variable names.
Is there a way to write makefiles in a non-recursive fashion that will
enable me to acheive both goals?
Thanks,
Dave
