Re: Custom Build

[Kamaljit Singh]

My apologies in sending it to the wrong list.

Thanks for the tip, but my query is more in line with creating a 
archive/executable like functionality e.g.

install_ABC=hello_world
hello_world_SRC=a.xyz b.xyz c.xyz

leads to
hello_world:
    $(MYARCHIVER) $(MYFLAGS) a.xyz b.xyz c.xyz > $@; ...

This looks more like an automake question, so I've redirected the mail
accordingly.  Perhaps the answer already lies in the automake manual, in
creating your own suffix rules:
