Because `make all install` would first build, then install, while `make install` would just do the installation, regardless of build state.

- ianstormtaylor 12y agoWhy not have install do the build state, and then in most cases it wouldn't need to be run at all since the target would be up-to-date? Just curious. I usually structure my targets so that I can run `make test` immediately without having to know what all the random commands are to build/install.
- wtallis 12y agoWouldn't any sane install target depend on the build products it seeks to install, and consequently build before installing?
