I originally asked and suggested:
If I want to execute a script between a top level make invocation
and a submake, it appears that the only straightforward way to do
it that is likely to be portable and reliable(?) is to redefine
$MAKE. If I understand correctly, the right way to do this is as
follows.
Add the following to the top-level Makefile.am:
REAL_MAKE = @SET_MAKE@
MAKE = ./my_script_that_calls_make.sh ${REAL_MAKE}
<snip>
Apologies: that was complete nonsense (I should not be writing the
list when sleep-deprived).
Given the usual issues with recursive make variable definitions, it
doesn't appear to be possible to redefine $MAKE as I'd like.
-jar
