Hi Pedro,
The ability to sidestep archive creation would be welcome (I think).
That is already possible using the configure option
--with-package-format="installed"
which avoids the archive creation.
Getting back to the topic of having an "install" makefile target:
There already is an "install" target for dmake, but its usage and its
result is different enough from a "make install" in most other projects.
Changing the build process so that "make clean", "make", "make install"
etc. will work as expected by newcomers might be a worthwhile goal.
With the files of the "installed" package-format already residing in
e.g. main/instsetoo_native/*/OpenOffice/installed/install/en-US
eventually it is not too much effort to add an "install" target that
feels almost right.
