subdirRule: Rule for running the make process in a subdirectory

In rmake: Makefile Generator for R Analytical Projects

Rule for running the make process in a subdirectory

Description

The subdirectory in the target argument is assumed to contain its own Makefile. This rule executes ⁠make <targetTask>⁠ in this subdirectory (where ⁠<targetTask>⁠ is the value of the targetTask argument).

Usage

subdirRule(target, depends = NULL, task = "all", targetTask = "all")

Arguments

target	Name of the subdirectory
depends	Must be NULL
task	A character vector of parent task names. The mechanism of tasks allows grouping rules. Anything different from 'all' will cause the creation of a new task depending on the given rule. Executing ⁠make taskname⁠ will then force building this rule.
targetTask	What task to execute in the subdirectory.

Value

An instance of S3 class rmake.rule
