How to let gmake terminate by itself when it encounters error when processing subdir.

Hi,

Suppose my source code structure is

parent/
+----subdir1/
+----subdir2/
+----subdir3/

In each subdir, there is a Makefile and the source code.

I put the following Make file in parent dir. When I run gmake in parent
dir, gmake won't stop even if there is any compile errors in the
subdirectories. Is there anyway to make gmake stop when it encounter
errors.

Best wishes,
Peng

SUBDIRS = $(filter-out Makefile% README batch central_depository
tags,$(wildcard *))
NOTES =
SHELL = /bin/bash

..PHONY: all run clean backup

all:
@for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do \
$(MAKE) -C $$dir; \
done
