I don't know of any "canonical" way of doing this - it's going to pretty similar to targets that run doxygen or otherwise trigger custom action, assuming the idea is to have "make astyle-format" or something similar that runs astyle on all your source files. BRL-CAD has implemented (working but not yet activated for default use) an integration of astyle that makes incorrect styling of source code files a compile-time error when building the system. It's both more elaborate and more invasive than a "run astyle" build target, but does compel developers to take styling rules seriously. Sort of like "-Werror" for code formatting. There's also the option of "print noisy warnings but keep building" for a less draconian approach that's still hard to ignore.
