Hi,
        I have a make question:

How do I test if a directory exists with make?

I would like to have a Makefile that checks if a specific directory isthere, if it

is I would like to cd to it and build .

if foo
        cd foo
        make -f my_makefile


Is there a way to do this without scripts?


Would this suite your purpose ?


target: my_dir/Makefile
        $(MAKE) -C my_dir


Cheers,
                -Tristan
