Yes, that would be the simplest way to achieve this. > Keeping the current per-directory `Makefile.am's, I can imagine doing > some hackery (and already have some ideas about it) in the top level > `Makefile.am', but I first wanted to be sure that it didn't exist > already. I think you could as well hard-code rules for specific targets in the toplevel Makefile.am. But then you'd have to keep both the rules in the toplevel Makefile.am and in the subdirectories in sync somehow. In a nonrecursive setup, you'd get that for free.
