No. As mentioned previously, having a relative path to the top makefile in every subdir makefile breaks horribly when you start moving them around. The solution I like best is to use a top level Makefile which builds everything else. For example, make -f Makefile.build obj=arch/i386/boot/ As for my "thought excersize", no 100% fool proof to do that, given the constrained I outlined. I think Oleg Goldshmidt came closest in private communication. -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org
