If you don't install org (i.e. run it directly out of the Git worktree),
that would be:

make compile autoloads info

Plain "make" now really makes everything except install as it is
supposed to do (that is equivalent to "make all").  It didn't do the
full documentation before.

That would be an uphill battle.  You can define your own target for what
you want to do in local.mk, say "org" and then do "make org".  BTW, you
don't need cleanall anymore before compiling (it is now implicit); if
you really want to compile without cleaning first, do a compile-dirty.

You just create a file local.mk, copy in the definitions from default.mk
that you need to change (and only those) and then change them to suit
your environment.  Look up the examples posted earlier in this thread:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/44567

You'd additionally want

---8<------------->8---
.PHONY:	org
org:	compile autoloads info
---8<------------->8---

at the top of your local.mk (that needs to be a TAB after the colon) if
you want to be able to say "make org" and have it do
"make compile autoloads info".
