How do you get the list of targets in a makefile?

Question

I\'ve used rake a bit (a Ruby make program), and it has an option to get a list of all the available targets, eg

> rake --tasks
rake db:charset      # ret         


        

Answer 1

I usually do:

grep install_targets Makefile

It would come back with something like:

install_targets = install-xxx1 install-xxx2 ... etc

I hope this helps
