make check is usually to test the result of a build, according the
GNU guidelines in:

<https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Standard-Targets.html>

I believe linting the source code is a different thing, and so I
used a different target in the Linux man-pages Makefile: 'lint'.

So, in the man-pages project, it goes like this:

lint -> build -> check -> install

Maybe you could follow a similar scheme?  Otherwise, it's a bit
weird to run the linters _after_ building (since `make check`
requires previously building).

If you want to have a look at the Linux man-pages' makefiles,
you should start by running `make help` and `make help-variables`,
and also read the README, CONTRIBUTING (see 'Lint & check' section),
and INSTALL files.

Cheers,
Alex
