using if statement

Hi,

 

     I have an recursive make file to invoke all Makefiles in the subdirectories. But i want the execution to stop when we encounter an error in any of the sub directories. I thought of using if [ $? -ne 0 ] trap .But i belive it wont work, since Makefile already has $? defined for a different cause. Can someone help me out with this.

 

all:

 

           for dir in `$(SUB_DIRS)`; do \
           $(MAKE) -C $$dir; \
           done

 

 

I need to add the following chunk below, MAKE:

 

  if [  -ne 0 ];then echo "ERRROR" exit; \
  fi

 

 

 

rgds,

Satish
