Hi Jeff, I use specific targets with make for the things I want: make lisp/org-install.el make doc/org.info make doc/org.pdf Other than these (and org.pdf is rare) I don't use any other targets that I am aware of. You can remove *.elc files with git using git clean *.elc You can run make targets with -n to display what they would do (but not actually do anything). As far as I know the make install task only builds the *.elc files if necessary and updates the system level emacs. Try: make -n install and look at the resulting output.
