Re: how to exit the parent_make immediately when get an error in submake

[Tao T]

for some reason it seems more complicated to get rid of shell.
do you have any suggestion to use shell? thanks~
currently my command have to change to :BUILDUNITS := $(shell $(foreach
unit,$(ALL_UNITS),cd $(REPOSITORY_ROOT)/units/$(unit)  && $(MAKE)
$(MAKECMDGOALS) BUILD_TYPE=$(BUILD_TYPE) 1>&2;))
It looks more complicated.

thanks and BR,
Tao
