Simple make file questions....i think, thnx

Hello,

I'm a noob when comes to make files....

My intentions for the use of my make file are not that of a usual compilation, etc.

It is simply to copy some files from a RCS controlled area to a public area which has read rights only for a web page.

My dilemma comes in the form of sub directories and how to handle them and the files in them.

Let say that I have the following dir structures.

mydomain/public_htm/test1/test1sub/

mydomain/sourc_htm/test1/test1sub/

I want to copy all files from
mydomain/sourc_htm/test1
to
mydomain/public_htm/test1

as well as all the files in the sub directories.

i.e.
copy
mydomain/sourc_htm/test1/test1sub/
to
mydomain/public_htm/test1/test1sub/

Here is what I have so far:

DESTDIR1 = mydomain/public_htm/test1
DESTDIR2 = mydomain/public_htm/test1/test1sub

TARGETS1 = test1.html
TARGETS2 = testsub1.html .htaccess user.pass
SOURCES = test1.html testsub1.html .htaccess user.pass

all: $(TARGETS1) $(TARGETS2)

install1: $(TARGETS1)
if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR1) ] ; then mkdir -p $(DESTDIR1); fi
@for f in $(TARGETS1) ; \
do \
/usr/sbin/install -c $(DESTDIR1) -m 444 $$f ; \
done
install2: $(TARGETS2)
if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR2) ] ; then mkdir -p $(DESTDIR2); fi
@for f in $(TARGETS2) ; \
do \
/usr/sbin/install -c $(DESTDIR2) -m 444 $$f ; \
done

install: install1 install2

BTW, this make file resides in the dir:
mydomain/sourc_htm/test1/

I have used this approach when only one directory and multiple files need to be copied and it has worked.

I've read the man pages and the info pages and I'm still a bit lost on how to implement this.

I've seen the suggestions of having another make file in the sub directory, etc, etc, etc.

I really want to know what the best approach is, and some hints on how to implement it.

A few other things to note, it doesn't seem to want to copy over the .htaccess file, any suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Matt

wdmd

WDMD(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   WDMD(8)

NAME

       wdmd - watchdog multiplexing daemon

SYNOPSIS

       wdmd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       This  daemon opens /dev/watchdog and allows multiple independent sources to detmermine whether each KEEPALIVE is done.  Every test interval
       (10 seconds), the daemon tests each source.  If any test fails, the KEEPALIVE is not done.  In a standard configuration, the watchdog timer
       will  reset the system if no KEEPALIVE is done for 60 seconds ("fire timeout").	This means that if single test fails 5-6 times in row, the
       watchdog will fire and reset the system.  With multiple test sources, fewer separate failures back to back can also cause a reset, e.g.

       T seconds, P pass, F fail
       T00: test1 P, test2 P, test3 P: KEEPALIVE done
       T10: test1 F, test2 F, test3 P: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T20: test1 F, test2 P, test3 P: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T30: test1 P, test2 F, test3 P: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T40: test1 P, test2 P, test3 F: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T50: test1 F, test2 F, test3 P: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T60: test1 P, test2 F, test3 P: KEEPALIVE skipped
       T60: watchdog fires, system resets

       (Depending on timings, the system may be reset sometime shortly before T60, and the tests at T60 would not be run.)

       A crucial aspect to the design and function of wdmd is that if any single source does not pass tests for the fire timeout, the watchdog	is
       guaranteed  to fire, regardless of whether other sources on the system have passed or failed.  A spurious reset due to the combined effects
       of multiple failing tests as shown above, is an accepted side effect.

       wdmd will exit if a watchdog driver is not loaded.

       wdmd cannot be used on the system with any other program that needs to open /dev/watchdog, e.g. watchdog(8).

   Test Source: clients
       Using libwdmd, programs connect to wdmd via a unix socket, and send regular messages to wdmd to update an expiry time for their connection.
       Every test interval, wdmd will check if the expiry time for a connection has been reached.  If so, the test for that client fails.

       (Other test sources such as scripts executed each test interval may be added in the future.)
