Hi, this is not a real bug report, but a feature request.
We are using automake in the GNU MPFR project. Thank you for this program! In our "make check" target, automake produces: check-am: all-am $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS) $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) check-TESTS However when cross-compiling, we'd like to only build the tests binaries, not run them on the build machine. Thus it would be nice to have a separate target (say check-build) that would only build the check programs, not run them: check-build: $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS) check-am: all-am check-build $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) check-TESTS Best regards, Paul Zimmermann
