Well, should be somewhat like
----- 8< -----
ROOT=
SUBDIRS=dir1 dir2
all clean distclean depend install indent lint::
@for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do \
echo Making $@ in $$dir; \
(cd $$dir; $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) ROOT=../$(ROOT) $@); \
done
endif
all::
...
clean::
...
----- 8< -----
this way $(ROOT) can be used anywhere in depth to refer to initial dir
(and to any file as well, say $(ROOT)include/misc.h)
Don't forget that recursive targets from now on should have `::' , not `:'
Look at `info make' for more.
Regards,
Willy.
