Run make from child folders

If you use the Makefile to run commands (which is a bad way, but nobody cares), this script makes it possible to run from child folders.

Commands

• rmake rule — run rule from nearest Makefile
• rmake --dot rule — run rule from nearest Makefile with .rootmake file in the same folder

Example

Structure:

• :root

  • Makefile
  • .rootmake
  • alpha
    • Makefile
      • delta
  • beta
    • gamma

• cd :root

• rmake rule — run rule from /Makefile

• cd alpha/delta

• rmake rule – run rule from /alpha/Makefile

• rmake --dot rule – run rule from /Makefile

• cd :root

• cd beta

• rmake rule – run rule from /Makefile

• cd gamma

• rmake rule – run rule from /Makefile
