java Makefile
Ive been trying to write a simple Makefile to compile *.java files to *.class files that reside in different directories.

[code]
-- main_dir ----subdir1
-----subdir2
[code]

here's my Makefile. it wont run what should i do? thanks for all the help!
Code:
JAVAC = javac
JFLAGS =

SUBDIRS = main_dir subdir1 subdir2

all:
        @@for file in $(SUBDIRS); do
                 $(JAVAC) $(JFLAGS) *.java
        done

If my understanding is correct, each command is taken as one single line, so you need to write the loop as if on a single line.

Maybe you try this:

Code:
JAVAC = javac
JFLAGS =

SUBDIRS = main_dir subdir1 subdir2

all:
        @@for file in $(SUBDIRS); do \
                 $(JAVAC) $(JFLAGS) *.java; \
        done

Also make sure the whitespace before the command are all real tabs.

If you still have problems running it, please don't forget to post the error message to help others help you.

Why don't you use Ant (http://ant.apache.org)?

Did you try my given version? It works on my machine without this error. Your version had this error.
