Hi.

I have a newbie question regarding creating a Makefile.

I want to create a Makefile that runs "make" in 3 subdirectories.
Something like this:

---------------------------------------
-- Makefile ---------------------------
---------------------------------------
all:
 cd folder1
 make
 cd ..
 
 cd folder2
 make
 cd ..
 
 cd folder3
 make
 cd ..
---------------------------------------

However, this doesn't work.
The output is:
---------------------------------------
eomirou@E-56BCB50DA21A4 /my/path
$ make
cd folder1
make
make[1]: Entering directory `/my/path'
cd folder1
make
make[2]: Entering directory `/my/path'
cd folder1
make
make[3]: Entering directory `/my/path'
cd folder1
make
make[4]: Entering directory `/my/path'

etc...
---------------------------------------

Any suggestions about how to make this work?
