I've got a quick question.
I want to strip symbols based on whether the user wants debugging mode on. in
the top of my file, I have:
DEBUG=yes
now, lower down I have:
ifeq ($(DEBUG),yes)
@strip -X -g $@
endif
when I compile with make, I get:
ifeq (yes,yes)
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `yes,yes'
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `ifeq (yes,yes)'
make: *** [main.o] Error 2
tyler@tds:~/skel$
it looks like it's trying to execute my if statement... any ideas?

You could put it in variables but if you are seriously trying to make your
compile work better you might want to look into jam it's a better make system
and it builds source much faster and does dependencies much better. The boost
libraries use Jam because of that very fact.

awesome, thanks. so I just need to add a cd;make to the root for each of the
folders.
wonder if there's an easier way of doing that (like storing the list of dirs
in a variable) or something... I'll have to check in to it.

You add the make file in the next level in the make file of the first level
as one of the commands to execut in the lower level. I have a 3 level tree in
my current make file system and in the first level it looks something like this
:
all: $(BINDIR)$(SERVER)
cd scripts;make "MAKEFILE=${MAKEFILE}"
cd utilities;make
cd key;make
cd compiler;make "MAKEFILE=${MAKEFILE}"
cd language;make "MAKEFILE=${MAKEFILE}"
cd mplex;make "MAKEFILE=${MAKEFILE}"
cd Utility;make "MAKEFILE=${MAKEFILE}"

Subject: makefile question
Hello list,
I've got a quick question.
I've got a set of programs, each in their own separate folder with
makefiles to match.
This works, but when I want to build the whole package I have to go from
directory to directory.
Is there a way perhaps, to make a makefile compile with other makefiles
under separate directories? I'd just like one main makefile that will run the
makefiles in sub directories, and pass in the argument.
So, if I'm at the root of the directory and I want to clean the package,
make clean would go to directories a,b,c,d,e and run make clean, etc.
TIA,
