Hello. I am trying to write a program that keeps the different executables in three seperate directories. At the top level directory, I have a Makefile that in turn cd's to the appropriate directory and then executes a make in that directory. Actually, that is what it is supposed to do, but the way I have it setup doesn't work. I have RTFM and tried some different methods but to no avail. No matter what, for the one directory, it always says it is up to date even though there are NO files in the directory whatsoever, then for the other executable directory, it stops with an "error code 1". This and the other errors are shown in the script included below my signature. If you have any ideas about what is happening, PLEASE let me know via e-mail as soon as possible. My system is an 80386 running UNIX V.3 (ISC 1.0.5). Thanks in advance. -Jo -- Joseph E Poplawski (Jo) Home: 5 Sussex Drive, Willingboro, NJ 08046-1407 Phone: +1 609 835-2846 UUCP: ...{rutgers!rochester!moscom,princeton,pyrnj}!telesci!fantasci!jep jep@fantasci.uucp jpoplaws@telesci.uucp Script started Thu Jan 18 22:50:39 1990 $ cat Makefile # Makefile CC = /bin/cc CP = /bin/cp RM = /bin/rm -f SHELL = /bin/ksh qccs: lib cd \ qccs $(MAKE) qmas: ( cd qmas ; make ) lib: ( cd libs ; make ) $ make lib ( cd libs ; make ) *** Error code 1 Stop. $ ls -l libs total 9 -rw-r----- 1 jep softdev 1187 Jan 18 04:32 Makefile -rw-r----- 1 jep softdev 909 Jan 18 03:53 keyret.c -rw-r----- 1 jep softdev 750 Jan 17 23:24 random.c -rw-r----- 1 jep softdev 830 Jan 17 23:25 sort.c $ make qccs ( cd libs ; make ) *** Error code 1 Stop. $ ls -l qccs [it lists the Makefile and all the *.c files but there is no executable or .o files whatsoever!] $ make qmas `qmas' is up to date. $ ls -l qmas total 0 Script done Thu Jan 18 22:51:40 1990
