Standard Make C project with subfolders? [message #164498]

I have made a standard Make C Project. Now I would like this project to
contain a subfolder called "Assignments" which again contains the two
subfolders "assign1" and "assign2".

These two subfolder would contain 2 different sourcefiles each one having
its own unique makefile.

But this seems to be impossible in eclipse CDT 3.0.2. The reason appears
that a Standard Make C Project can only have one makefile associated with
it.

Is there somway to obtain the above filestructure that I described?

make and makefiles area reentrant.

You can call subfolders' makefiles from your main makefile

I have now made a Standard Make C Project called "myproject". In this
project I have made 2 sourcefolders: A,B. I have then put test1.c in A and
test2.c in B (the two test files have nothing to do with each other, they
are totally independant applications).

I have then made a makefile for test1.c and put it in folder A. I have also
made a makefile for test2.c that I have put in B.

Should I make a third makefile and put it in "myproject" where I can call
the two other makefiles from?

Ok here is the "main" makefile that I am trying to make:

test1:
make -I A/ test1

test2:
make -I B/ test2

But I just get no makefile found eventhough they are in A and B.

You need to add ,

all : test1 test2

And change test?: as

cd A
make all
cd ..

I now have:

all: test1 test2

test1:
cd g1
make all
cd ..

test2:
cd g2
make all
cd ..

in eclipse I have made a "Make Target": "build command": make test1

but when I build it goes on forever with this:

make[4]: *** [test1] Terminated
make[3]: *** [test1] Terminated
make[2]: *** [test1] Terminated
make[1]: *** [test1] Terminated
make: *** [test1] Terminated
Error launching builder (make test1 all )
(Command canceled)

what have I misunderstood?

Sorry, my mistake

make auto changes to new diretories, so makefile in `test` diretory must be

all : test1 test2

clean :
make -f test1/makefile clean
make -f test2/makefile clean

test1 :
make -f test1/makefile all

test2 :
make -f test2/makefile all

What do you mean by 'test' dir, I never mentioned anything about a 'test'
dir?

still does not work.
I have these files:

/home/johs/parent/makefile # The main make file

/home/johs/parent/g1/test1.c
/home/johs/parent/g1/makefile

/home/johs/parent/g2/test2.c
/home/johs/parent/g2/makefile

Now I would like to start EITHER the makefile in g2 or g1 with the main make
file. If I would like to start the makefile in g1, I would type:

make test1

from the '/home/johs/parent/' dir.

The content of my main make file is:

all: test1 test2

clean :
make -f g1/makefile clean
make -f g2/makefile clean

test1 :
make -f g1/makefile all

test2 :
make -f g2/makefile all

and the content of the makefile in /home/johs/parent/g1/ is:

CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-g -pthread

all: test1

test: test1.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) test1.c -o test1
clean:
rm -rf *o test1

....it seems that calling another makefile in another dir with a makefile is
not the best way to make it work.

This works:

all: test1 test2

test1 :
cd g1 && $(MAKE) test1

test2 :
cd g2 && $(MAKE) test2
