SUBDIRS: can I make but not install?


My program uses a 3rd party library, that I include with the 
distribution as a subdirectory.

I want to build the library, and statically link to it, which 
works OK by including the subdirectory as SUBDIRS.  But the 
problem is that "make install" also wants to install the 
library, which I don't need.  Any suggestions for working 
around this?  I prefer not to modify the 3rd party autoconf/make
scripts.

And a more meta-question, is there any good reference or 
document about how one should include 3rd party libraries 
in one's package?

Thanks!
Greg
