Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Building programs from separate makefiles Post 302759489 by Corona688 on Tuesday 22nd of January 2013 11:19:56 AM

I agree in principle. When writing new makefiles, one should write it as one system so it can run efficiently.

When you have to use someone else's makefiles however, you have very little control.

If you're not rewriting them, cramming them all together in one folder is hardly better than keeping them separate. When they were in folders, they were at least organized. Now it's one awful pile.

What option are you trying to pass, to what? If you're not calling make again, there's not a lot to pass options to.
