At the moment this is simply not possible in a documented and stable way, but this may be a viable TODO item. The following procedure using undocumented features may or may not do what you want (and may break with a future Automake release), if you change to the build directory in which libprogram.la was created: make install-exec-am bin_PROGRAMS= lib_LTLIBRARIES=libprogram.la You may have to override other primaries such as pkglib_LTLIBRARIES or bin_SCRIPTS, provided that they are used in this Makefile.am. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
