Makefiles in Nested Directories

[Ajay Jain]

HI,

I need a design suggestion. I am starting to write a build system
using make. My project is quite exhaustive. There are directories,
sub-directories and so on. What should be the structure of my
makefiles?

1) Should I keep a Makefile in every directory and subdirectory? What
should the top level directory contain? and What should the
subdirectories contain?

2) OR there should only be makefiles at top level?

Regards,
Ajay.
