By declaring the subdirectories as phony targets (you must do this asthe subdirectory obviously always exists; otherwise it won't be built)you can remove these problems:     SUBDIRS = foo bar baz     .PHONY: subdirs $(SUBDIRS)     subdirs: $(SUBDIRS)     $(SUBDIRS):             $(MAKE) -C $@     foo: baz   Here we've also declared that the `foo' subdirectory cannot be builtuntil after the `baz' subdirectory is complete; this kind ofrelationship declaration is particularly important when attemptingparallel builds.

通过把子目录宣布为伪目标(如果子目录明显存在，你必须这么做，否则就无法运行)，你可以避免前述问题:

SUBDIRS = foo bar baz

.PHONY: subdirs $(SUBDIRS)

subdirs: $(SUBDIRS)

$(SUBDIRS):

　　$(MAKE) -C $@

foo: baz

这里我们也声明了 foo 子目录要在 baz 子目录处理完毕后再处理；这种关系在并行编译的时候很重要。
