Well, of course, you could do any of those approaches. None of them
will be significantly different.
I would assume that to make Modules 1-7, the process is very
similar. If you go the separate makefile route, I would put the
common things in a common make file and then include it in the
module1-7 makefiles. (It does not need to say "makefile" -- it could
be named anything.)
The top level makefile can invoke make with the other makefiles using
the -f option: make -f module1.mk for example. (the .mk suffix is
just something I made up -- its not significant to make.) So you
would have seven of those lines in the top level makefile.
I would try hard to have one makefile if that is plausible. The
reason is that for a change to a file that is not common to all the
modules, only the minimum amount of work will be done to get things
recompiled. But, the separate calls to make will not cost time much
either.
With GNU's make, you can have target specific variables. So, for
example, the list of object files needed for each module can be
specified all in the same makefile using the same name for the
macro. Then the macro that does the link will pick the target
specific value when it does the link for each particular target
(module in this case).
For clarity, you could have these put into separate files and then
include them into one master makefile. Or, as I mentioned before,
you could have the master makefile invoke make separately for each
module.
Good luck,
Perry

Hi All!
I am stuck with one big problem as i have to spawn seven modules.
Module1,Module2,Module3,Module4,Module5,Module6,Module7.That is all
these seven modules are running on one node or system.There is one
more module you can name it 'Spawn Module' which will spawn all the
seven modules i.e. spawn module will start all these modules. I am
stuck .
I donot know what to do?Whether to write separate make file for
each module from module 1 to module 7
and make a separate make file for spawn module which will use all
the makes of module 1 to module 7(I know how to write makefile but
I donot know how to use all the separate makes for each module to
make one final makefile if this is the case.)
Or
to write only one makefile and no need of making separate makefiles.
Can any body help me out.I need the solution as early as possible
as things have halted for me right now.I will be really thankful
and grateful if somebody will help me out.
ThanksandRegards
