Yes, that's what i did, BUT my approach does not require editing the top tree: it only looks for dirs with Makefiles containing the line "include thisdir.make", and generates thisdir.make where it doesn't exist (it gets cleaned up by 'make distclean').
- check out the src code into any random place on your filesystem
- go to any arbitrary subdir in the src tree and say make
i don't see a way around that without telling make where to look. You could have a wrapper shell script which walks up the dir chain looking for makefiles, but that's also a bit clumsy.
