Make and recursion

[Jimmy DEVEIL]

Hi all,

I use GNU Make to compile a complex project.
This project is composed of several modules interdependant (one module 
by directory)
I use make recursively to visit all directories and sub-directories.

But I want to launch another make in another directory (not a 
sub-directory).
Ex:

/
|- src
   |- module1
   |  |- sub-module1
   |  |- sub-module2 (depend module2/sub-module1)
   |- module2
      |- sub-module1
      |- sub-module2 (depend module1/sub-module1)

I use a target like :
depdirs: ${DEPDIRS}
${DEPDIRS}:
        @echo $@ > .history
        $(MAKE) -C $@ $(MAKECMDGOALS)

When make is executed, it found the dependance of module1/sub-module2 
and execute another make in module2/sub-module1... ok
But when it arrives in module1, make (recursively) execute another make 
in subdirectories and remake module2/sub-module1...

To avoid this I use a .history file and a if statement in make to write 
rules or not.

But if an error occured in the first call of module2/sub-module1,
my .history file contained the log of execution of make and don't 
execute another make (in subdirectories call or in another call of 'make 
all')

- I try to use .DELETE_ON_ERROR to delete the .history file or the line 
in this file without success (the file isn't a target).
- I try to launch specific target on errors (to launch scripts like 
'sed') without success.

Anyone can help me ?
thx :)
