Special meaning prefixes

  • check - The check prefix indicates products that are built only for testing purposes, and thus will not be installed at all.
  • noinst - The noinst prefix indicates that the listed products should be built, but not installed.
  • EXTRA - used to list programs that are conditionally built. Usually used to include directory recursivelly

"Super" prefixes

  • dist - indicates a set of files that should be distributed (that is, included in the distribution package when "make dist" is executed).
