Re: install-local target?

[Karl Berry]

Hi Ralf,

    maybe install-hook would be better,

Sure.

    - It isn't clear to me what should happen if the user typed
      make install-data
    or
      make install-exec
    only.  Letting the hook run after one of them only seems clearly wrong.

Yes, that would be wrong.

    Not running it at all would require some sort of `post-install' target

Sorry, I don't understand all these complications.  I didn't intend you
to go down any of those roads.  I was thinking of something simple:

install: install-data install-exec
        $(MAKE) install-hook

Or it could be a variable:

install: install-data install-exec
        $(POST_INSTALL_HOOK)

    Can you work around it (or have already done so) 

I worked around it by adding the rules to a different top-level target
("world"), which my TeX builders are accustomed to using anyway.  This
is suboptimal.

    by simply adding
    install-{data,exec}-local 

I don't see how I can use install-{data,exec}-local to accomplish this.
The command has to run once, after both install-data and install-exec
have finished.

It's certainly not the end of the world if it seems too complicated to
you for any reason.

Thanks,
Karl
