Re: looping over prerequisites

[Johan Bezem]

Hi,

maybe you'd want to have a look at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2002-10/msg00101.html, where I've detailed my personal 
solution to a problem similar to the one you describe. [the "address@hidden" is an 
erroneously replaced '@$' combination, not an email-address.] Using the make-variable 
$(MAKECMDGOALS) you avoid repeating your shell-loop for all available make-targets, and using the 
'RECURSE'-target (or any name you choose) you only have to specify it once, unless you cannot live 
with a "depth-first-make".

HTH,

Johan Bezem
