Re: Large makefile and scripts

Read Phillip's post regarding the makefile issue.  Here's my $.02 on other
stuff:

There's a lot of ways to accomplish this.  You can use sed, awk, perl,
csh, or several other options (of course, you could also write it in c++).
Simplest, in my opinion:

#!/bin/csh
cd foo
gmake all
cd ../bar
gmake all
(etc.)

put that into a file, and 'chmod +x file' to make it executable.

You can see the man pages for csh, perl, etc. for more info on any of the
languages.  There's tons of books out there, and even a class at Duke (cps
106) that will introduce you to different languages.

It's all about how much you are willing to learn.  On this issue, I'd
recommend going with Phillip's solution with the makefile.
