I tried to do $subject and failed miserably.
For how to cause the Documentation/ examples to be built,
I considered using a new CONFIG_ symbol, an environment variable
(or a command-line variable), a completely separate Makefile,
or a "check" string (these are special-cased in the top-level
Makefile). I ended up trying to use a command-line variable "X",
as in:
$ make X=1 all
which sets KBUILD_EX to 1, and then I (tried to) use KBUILD_EX
in top-level and subordinate Makefiles to control building the
example source files.
I don't like the method you selected.
I think the most used use is to read and build examples
directly from one directory, so we should design the
system from this assumption.
So I will do a simple recursive Makefiles
(and every makefile will include a ../../scripts/Makefile.example),
so that we can do "make" for every example.
A simple "examples" rules in main makefile:
USERSPACE_EXAMPLES_DIRS := Documentation/foo/ Documentation/bar
examples:
for d in $(USERSPACE_EXAMPLES_DIRS) do ( cd $d; $(MAKE) );;done
BTW: the problem on your makefile: you use
make -f dir/Makefile
but you still remain in the CWD.
