Hi
Our top level makefile builds a number of dynamic libraries, each of which has
its own makefile. Here are parts of the makefile (simplified):
DYNAMIC_LIBS = $(TRUNKDIR)/MyLibs/Lib1/lib1
DYNAMIC_LIBS += $(TRUNKDIR)/MyLibs/Lib2/lib2
DYNAMIC_LIBS += $(TRUNKDIR)/MyLibs/Lib3/lib3
DYNAMIC_LIBS += $(TRUNKDIR)/MyLibs/Lib4/lib4
$(ARCHIVES_R) $(ARCHIVES_D) : makedynamiclibs
.PHONY : makedynamiclibs
makedynamiclibs :
@for d in $(DYNAMIC_LIBS); do $(MAKE) --quiet --directory=$$d
$(MAKECMDGOALS); done
This works fine but, when a library makefile exits with a failure code, the for
loop continues with the next makefile. This means that this top level makefile
can exit with status 0 even if a lower level makefile exits with status 1 or 2.
How can I cause the for loop to break, and this makefile to exit with a failure
status, if a lower level makefile fails, please?
Best regards
David
