Mmmh. Somehow I don't like this... can't you do the following:
configure-with-gnome: stamp-conf-w-gnome
stamp-conf-w-gnome:
-mkdir build-w-gnome
cd build-w-gnome && ../configure --with-gnome
stamp-conf-w-gnome
configure-without-gnome: stamp-conf-wo-gnome
stamp-conf-wo-gnome:
-mkdir build-w-gnome
cd build-w-gnome && ../configure --without-gnome
stamp-conf-wo-gnome
build: stamp-build
stamp-build: configure-with-gnome configure-without-gnome
cd build-w-gnome && $(MAKE)
cd build-wo-gnome && $(MAKE)
touch stamp-build
install: stamp-install
stamp-install: build
cd build-w-gnome && $(MAKE) install prefix=`pwd`/../debian/tmp-w-gnome
cd build-wo-gnome && $(MAKE) install prefix=`pwd`/../debian/tmp-wo-gnome
The idea is that "build" does the build, "install" the install. If you just
provide an empty build and install target for sake of policy, this is
probably annoying sometimes to some people who try to sepoerate the build
process from the package installing and building process.
Thanks,
