makefile2
What does && mean in makefile

Example

Target :
cd lib/src && $(MAKE) $(MAKE_FLAGS_HOLDER) target_2

say you have command a and command b

Code:
./command_a && ./command_B

this will execute command a, then command b upon termination of comand a.

Actually command_b is executed upon successful completion of command _a. If the cd fails, no make will occur.

Exactly. If you want command_b to be executed regardless, do:

command_a; command_b
