Background :
We are in the process of setting up a project where individual user who
develop modules
will create make files for compilng their code. The top level make file will
take the compiled
code from subidirectories and create a executable etc.
Problem : In the process I have gone through both the options of doing this
using recursive make
option or including these submakes into main make file. The issue that I
forsee in case of
including submake file is that individuals who create these submakes have to
be aware from
where their make files will be called, whereas in case of resursive make,
once the make works in
their directory it will always work if top level make executes these make
files. As an example, we
create a subdirectory to dump compiled code for which we use "mkdir -p ..."
Doing this
by including make file will create this directory from where the top level
make file was called
not in the sub-directory is located.
Any thoughts on how this can be overcome ..
