aggregate makefile not working correctly (make install)

[Andreas Hoeschler]

Hi all,

assume you have a number of libraries, bundles and tools that depend on 
each other and that you want to build with a single make file. I have 
set this up as follows:

GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES = $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)/Makefiles
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
SUBPROJECTS = <list of projects; libraries first, then the bundles, then 
the tools>
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/aggregate.make

Whenever I add a new symbol to one of the libraries, the tools depending 
on this library/symbol do not compile with "make install".

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to 
shared_obj/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu/HolzPoolWeb

I need to cd into in to the library directory that got a new symbol, do 
"make install" there, cd back to the parent directory and type "make 
install" again. That is a bit annoying. What am I missing? Shouldn't 
this work? I expected "make install" on an aggrete project to do "make 
install" with all subprojects. It looks like it is doing "make" with all 
subprojects first which leads to this problem. Any ideas?

Regards,

   Andreas
