I am trying to include a makefile which contains the names of other
makefiles to include.
If the first makefile is out of date, it is rebuilt using a pattern rule
but after that point no more files can be included.
It appears that make only gives you one shot when using auto-generated
included makefiles:
all included makefiles must be named in the top level makefile.
Is there any way to do a recursive 'include' after rebuilding included
makefiles?
(really trying to avoid sub-make...)
Thanks,
Greg Keraunen
