I think you probably need to list the 'install' target as 'PHONY' eg .PHONY: install In fact its probably a good idea to list all virtual targets, such as 'all', 'clean', 'install', etc under .PHONY - automake for example does this for al its special targets. The GNU info pages for make have more details: .PHONY The prerequisites of the special target `.PHONY' are considered to be phony targets. When it is time to consider such a target, `make' will run its commands unconditionally, regardless of whether a file with that name exists or what its last-modification time is. There is also a longer multi-page description of PHONY targets which I won't repeat here.
