As far as I know, the distcheck target was invented by automake. It probably should be added to the GNU Coding Standards, if it's not there already, but I don't know if anyone is working on that document anymore. > I wonder if recipe to build `distcheck' target > as compiled by automake gets same form as John Calcote > describes it in chapter 3 his Practitioner's Guide (2nd ed.). I have not read this book. Since it was published ten years ago, anything it describes may well be out of date. I don't think distcheck has changed much in that time, but I could be wrong. > For one Makefile generated by autotools in one of my last projects > I see building `check' target is included in `distcheck' recipe. > If yes, all products prefixed with `check_' would be built also > when `make distcheck' command is run. Yes, this is intentional. I don't think I understand what your question is. zw
