Run each Command individually but distribute them in Multiple Make-files

Question

• I wanted to have every Env have its own Makefile (local, dev, production).

• So I created 3 directories and a Makefile for every Directory.

• Then creates a common MakeFile which includes all other child Makefiles as :

• I was able to include my child commands in Parent file but the issue is
  • If I ran make local , it executes all commands inside Makefile.local
  • But instead I want each command must be ran individual
  • When mentioned like make local local_command or even make local_command , local_command must be executed only.

Answer 1

You likely want something like:

TOP_LEVEL_TARGS := dev local prod

$(TOP_LEVEL_TARGS):
    make -f config/local/Makefile.$@ $(filter-out $(TOP_LEVEL_TARGS), $(MAKECMDGOALS))

This will invoke a sub-make with all the command goals of the original make commands (minus the top level targets).
