I have a "master" directory on top of a source tree with a Makefile that works just like I want it to at the moment.
Due to a situation out of my control, users cd to a working directory two subdirectories below. There they currently use a hodgepodge of awk, bash, tcsh, and Perl scripts to selectively make targets that I have in my Makefile two directories above. (Note that I'm trying to create a working solution to eliminate the script kludge and replace it by a much easier to maintain make system). I have successfully (so far) managed to "make" things work by duplicating targets in the user Makefile. For eaxmple, a short version looks like this ===> user Makefile MASTERDIR := ../.. tgt: <=== Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA
