Nobody wants to write Makefiles and recursive Makefiles are easier to write.
If it's truly the same information in multiple recursive Makefiles as it would be in one monolithic Makefile, then there should be a tool that converts recursive makefiles into monolithic makefiles. Humans should not have to reason about the entire project scope at once.
- noselasd 13y agoThere are many ways where you only need to care about the local scope, you don't need to use a single monolithic makefile. See e.g. https://github.com/dmoulding/boilermake https://github.com/dmoulding/boilermake It is harder than it should be though.
