What I did was to have only one makefile for each application and store them in a single folder. Then the main Makefile will execute the appropriate Makefile
I think I have a solution. Let me try it and will report back.

xmkmf
XMKMF(1) General Commands Manual XMKMF(1)
NAME
xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile
SYNOPSIS
xmkmf [ -a ] [ topdir [ curdir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The xmkmf command is the normal way to create a Makefile from an Imakefile shipped with third-party software.
When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an Imakefile, the imake program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
(configured into xmkmf when X was built) and generates a Makefile.
When invoked with the -a option, xmkmf builds the Makefile in the current directory, and then automatically executes ``make Makefiles'' (in
case there are subdirectories), ``make includes'', and ``make depend'' for you. This is the normal way to configure software that is out-
side the X Consortium build tree.
If working inside the X Consortium build tree (unlikely unless you are an X developer, and even then this option is never really used), the
topdir argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally, curdir
may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply curdir if the
current directory has subdirectories, or the Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories. If a topdir is given, xmkmf assumes
nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in the build tree instead of using the installed versions.
