Hi -
I'm running gnu make 3.74 on Solaris x.86 on a pentium,
and it continues processing the Makefile even after one the
targets failed. It's as if I used "-k", when in fact I
didn't. I've tried "make -S", and STILL it continues!
The Makefile in question is very simple:
=============== begin Makefile ====================
DIRS = suba subb subc
all:
for ii in $(DIRS); do (cd $$ii; make all); done
=============== end Makefile ====================
The commands I tried are:
make
make -S
and both continued even after an error.
When a target in a subdir fails, say suba/xxx, Make leaves the suba
subdirectory but continues on to the next subdir.
When I use Sun's make, it quits immediately upon hitting an error.
How can I convince gnu make to likewise quit completely when it
encounters an error?
Many thanks for any suggestions -
Steve Sullivan
