compile multiple modules in Makefile

Hi,

I have this Makefile

Code:

all:
        @cd jsp;         make all; @cd ics; make all

clean:
        @cd jsp;         make clean; @cd ics; make clean

clobber:
        @cd jsp;         make clean; @cd ics; make clean

depend:
        @echo "There are no dependencies to make for this module."

Only the files in "jsp" module are compiled, but not the ones in "ics" when this Makefile is executed.

Any ideas why??

I am able to compile the Makefile under "ics" without any problems.

This Makefile is located at the root of both "jsp" and "ics" modules.

Code:

Structure is as follows:
/DB
 |
 |------->Makefile ( Root Makefile )
 |
 |------->jsp/Makefile,file1,file2,...( jsp module )
 |
 |------->ics/Makefile,file1,file2,...( ics module )

Do you think I need to do a "../ics/make all" for "ics" since the present location may have changed to "jsp" module?

Thanks

Hi,

I fixed this problem.

Now for a fresh installation there are no executables present. The make utility is doing a "make clean all ...".

I,e It's first trying to do a "clean" before compiling with "all".

Now my issue is :

The make utility is exiting, since it's not finding any executables beacause it's doing a "make clean" first before a "make all" is being done. This is a fresh installation.

Have any of you ever come across such a problem?
thanks
