Controlling the order of the recursed directories

I used the two macros of EARLY_DIRS and LATE_DIRS to control the order
of the recursed dirctories as following:

EARLY_DIRS= wlibsrv libart libtty libutil libx libr
LATE_DIRS=test_client gserver

I need to make “libutil” first, “libtty” second and then the rest of the
other directories in the list of directories of EARLY_DIRS.

Since these macros treat the list of directories as a group and there is
no ordering within the group( only alphabetic order, I think).
Is there any way to work around this?

Thanks for any help.

Not without introducing an additional directory level, sorry.

Create a lib directory and put wlibsrv, libart, libtty, libutil, libx, libr
under it. In your Makefile, say “EARLY_DIRS=lib”. In the lib directory,
create a new recursing Makefile and put “EARLY_DIRS=libutil” and
“LATE_DIRS=wlibsrv libart libx libr” in it.

Thanks for your quick response.

Would PRE_TARGET macro help in this situation?

Possibly - it’d be very tricky. You’d have to figure out the directory of
the library you want to build and do a "make -C " on it.
