Question

I have a makefile in a directory of mine which builds scripts with certain environment variables set. What if I want to create another makefile in the same directory with di

Answer 1

You can do something like this rather than using multiple makefiles for the same purpose. You can pass the environment or set a flag to the same makefile. For eg:

    ifeq ($(ENV),ENV1)
     ENV_VAR = THIS
    else
     ENV_VAR = THAT
    endif

    default : test

    .PHONY : test
    test:
            @echo $(ENV_VAR)

Then you can simply run the make command with arguments

    make ENV=ENV1
