Re: possible to have only top level makefile ?

[Matt Hull]

no particular reason other than i wanted to see the difference and
possibly use a top makefile instead of sub makefile's

right now i have it with where i putput makefile's to each subdir, i
wanted to have only a top level makefile. but i read that it will mess up
make dist.

my dir's are:

src
src/gtk

what is different with only a single makefile ?

thanks
