Re: Make File depends upon another Make File

[John Calcote]

Hi Jason,

You can either include one makefile in the other:
-----------
# Makefile A
...
include directory-b/makefile
...
-----------
or you can call one makefile from the other:
-----------
# Makefile A

all: $(deps)
        ...
        cd directory-b && $(MAKE) $(MAKEFLAGS) $@
        ...
...
-----------

Regards,
John
