LCA: Disintermediating distributionsLCA: Disintermediating distributionsPosted Feb 7, 2008 4:39 UTC (Thu) by roelofs (subscriber, #2599)In reply to: LCA: Disintermediating distributions by stevenj Parent article: LCA: Disintermediating distributions Try using raw 'make' in a project with subdirectories sometime. Have:
$(MAKE) -C subdir
or
cd subdir && $(MAKE)
I believe even MS nmake circa 1990 supported that much, and it's not even close to a standard make. Every Unix make I've used (couple dozen) was better than that. But it has been quite a few years since I messed with any of this stuff, so craniorectal impaction is always a possibility. Greg

LCA: Disintermediating distributions Posted Feb 7, 2008 10:05 UTC (Thu) by epa (subscriber, #39769) [Link] Have a look at the article linked from the parent post. Calling one 'make' from another makefile tends to lead to all sorts of crufty problems. The paper gives examples, and my own experience certainly confirms it. That said, you can use make in a large project, just not by recursive invocation.
