I don't think there is a general way to do that. You can use 'make -n' if you wish to not execute commands, or override the RANLIB or AR or CC (or COMPILE) macros. > For instance, I could, if I chose, do this: > > lib_LIBRARIES = libmylib.a > libmylib_a_SOURCES = source1.c source2.c > libmylib_a_AR = echo \!* > /dev/null Serious question: why do you want or need to do this? Automake generally allows flexibility where it's necessary for portability but if you don't have ar, then libmylib.a can't be built; however AC_PROG_RANLIB will set @RANLIB@ to ':' for you if not present -- not all systems have/need a ranlib. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
