For automake 1.4, I used to need to add things like:
foo_DEPENDENCIES = ../lib/libstuff.la
../lib/libstuff.la:
cd .. ; \
$(MAKE) libstuff.la
In a bigger tree, this way you can get just what is needed built without
always needing to run make from the top level to build everything in
sequence.
I just read in the manual that DEPENDENCIES is automatically determined.
Is this a change for 1.5? I didn't see this in NEWS, and I confess I
get lost in the ChangeLog!
