Re: Create a custom target

[automake]

Hi
 I have a similar problem with giving a customized target. I have included
target into Makefile.am

as 

extra:
      ...nm
      ...link

But the default target for makefiles from configure.ac is all.  Is there a
way to add this target to all sub-targets?
