In each directory, have a makefile with sth like # start of makefile PROGRAM = program program: your object files here your compilation/linking commands here objects: your source files your compilation commands here # note the semi-colon below clean_n_compile:; rm *.o *.frm put your sed or similar command to replace the global file make $(PROGRAM) #end of makefile Then in another directory, have a makefile with sth like SRC_DIRS= list all your source directories here # note the semi-colon below clean_n_compile:; for i in $(SRC_DIRS);do cd $i make clean_n_compile cd - done Then from this directory when you type $ make clean_n_compileit would go to each of your source directory and run the make files in those directories. If you read more about make and mkmf, you would benefit a lot more. Hope this helps! -Sams
