I'm not that creative so I haven't figured out how to do this yet.

I have the following structure

project/ project/classes/ project/src/ projekt/Makefile

I usually create a TM-project for the source-folder. How can I make a macro that executes the makefile?

I've written a shell script called "makeup" that searches for a Makefile in the current directory. If it doesn't find one, it keeps searching up the directory structure. That way, I can type "makeup" in any directory in the project and it will find the Makefile.

You can create a command that runs "makeup" and that should do what you want. Here's makeup:

#! /bin/sh # # usage: makeup [args...] # # Finds the first makefile in the current directory or any directory above and # then runs make, passing on any args given to this script.

start_dir=`pwd`

while [ /bin/true ] ; do if [ -f Makefile || -f makefile ] ; then # If we've found a makefile, go back to the original directory and use # the -C flag to tell make to run from the directory where we found # the makefile. We do this so that error messages produced during the # make process are relative to the current directory. I think. here=`pwd` cd $start_dir make -C $here $* exit fi

# Stop if we're in the top directory. if [ "/" == `pwd` ] ; then # No parent directory echo no makefile found exit 1 fi

# Keep swimming...keep swimming...swimming, swimming, swimming... cd .. done
