       Hi,

this is not a real bug report, but a feature request.

We are using automake in the GNU MPFR project. Thank you for this program!
In our "make check" target, automake produces:

check-am: all-am
        $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS)
        $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) check-TESTS

However when cross-compiling, we'd like to only build the tests binaries,
not run them on the build machine.

Thus it would be nice to have a separate target (say check-build) that would
only build the check programs, not run them:

check-build:
        $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS)

check-am: all-am check-build
        $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) check-TESTS

Best regards,
Paul Zimmermann

Sound sensible.  Maybe with s/check-build/check-build-am/ though, to avoid
impinging on the user namespace, and avoid breaking existing Makefile.am
that happen to already use the 'check-build' target name for other purposes
(I bet there are such packages in the wild).

A change in this direction doesn't seem to difficult, and I agree that the
feature you are requesting might indeed be useful.  But I don't have much
Automake time ATM, and there are existing loose ends that needs to be
addressed first.  So I don't know when I will get back to your feature
request, sadly.  In the meantime, if you want to help speeding things up,
patches are very welcome ;-)

Best regards,
  Stefano
