Re: Make

I am trying to make a makefile that would prompt a user for input and
then use it in a sub make. i.e.

user_dir:
echo "Enter id: \c"
read UserId
echo "UserId: ${UserId}"
cd sage_ini ; make install UserName=$(UserId); )


I am trying to get it so that the Makefile will read input (UserId)
and be able to pass it along to the next make. This method currently
does not work. Any one know how to do this?

surinder@khyber:~/ws/make> more user.sh
#!/bin/sh

FILE=Makefile.usr
touch $FILE

echo "userdirs:" > $FILE
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
echo "enter username (type end to exit)"
read username
if [ "$username" = "end" ] ; then
break;
fi
echo -e "\tmake -C $username" >> $FILE
done

if [ "$username" = "end" ] ; then
break;
fi
echo -e "\tmake -C $username" >> $FILE
done

surinder@khyber:~/ws/make> ./user.sh
enter username (type end to exit)
go
enter username (type end to exit)
green
enter username (type end to exit)
miles
enter username (type end to exit)
end
surinder@khyber:~/ws/make> more Makefile.usr
userdirs:
make -C go
make -C green
make -C miles

surinder@khyber:~/ws/make> make -C go
make: Entering directory `/home/surinder/ws/make/go'
echo "in user makefile"
in user makefile
make: Leaving directory `/home/surinder/ws/make/go'
