i realize this is a trivial question but i just want to be
absolutely sure i'm doing this the right way.
i have a sizable recursive make structure and i want to add
"include"s in various makefiles to pull in useful "utility" makefiles
in various places.
i know the proper way to do that is to use the "-I" option on the
make invocation. now, if my *top* level Makefile doesn't need to do
any includes, i'm fairly sure i can set the include search path in
that makefile, then use ${MAKE} from there on to make sure everyone
below picks up the search path.
if the top-level makefile *does* need that include search path, my
idea was to alias "make" to "make -I..." so that one doesn't need to
keep typing that option explicitly.
is that about right? or is there a more elegant way to do this?
thanks.
