makefile exit on error -- 2

Hi, I have a makefile which builds multiple modules of python scripts(the modules have makefiles themselves). Now if I give make all, it enters through the modules and executes the makefile inside each directory. What I would like is exit the directory if it throws an error. I think one way is that look for the error code and execute the code on that. Any better way or implementation of this simple logic should be okay. small and simple project. I can offer till 2500 INR.
