is there any way to access the arguments (not just the option flags) passed to make ? I'm trying to do a heirarchical make, but need to be able to pass along command line definitions of make macros. If anyone has a better way to do this than accessing make's arguments, that would do to. As a shell script, it would be something like foo: make $(MAKEARGS) -f makefile.$(foo) This is for a system where there are multiple makefiles for different architectures, and I want to be able to say "make BLAH=BLETCH foo". thanx -- Paul Barton-Davis <pauld@cs.washington.edu> UW Computer Science Lab "People cannot cooperate towards common goals if they are forced to compete with each other in order to guarantee their own survival."
