How can I trigger another make command when one is finished?
Hello all
I have to run manually make commands in our system the make compilations task's takes very long
And I like to be able to run another make task right after one is finished.
What is the best way to automate it ?

Add the set of commands in a script and run it once you are done editing the code

something like

#! /bin/zsh

Code:
cd /somedir/
make all
cd /someotherdirectory/
make all

You can have a master makefile that kicks off subsidiary ones.
