Okay, I'll think about the implications here.
Another possibility is to add these lines to Makefile.am: # This is implicit in "make all", but is needed explicitly before other target # invocations. built-sources: $(BUILT_SOURCES) Then people like Richard can run $ make built-sources specific-target instead of $ make specific-target and thus get a certain target built without the need to do "make all". It is particularly useful for the 'make dist' target, which is required to work _without_ preceding 'make all'. [1] Bruno [1] https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html
