Re: external modules make clean doesn't do much

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Sam, I found out what was triggering the problem: symbolic links.
The setup was like this:

directory A contains Makefile, source code etc.
B is a symbolic link to A.
If I change directory into A, then "make clean" works fine.
If I change directory into B, then "make clean" only cleans .tmp_versions.

Strange but true...

All the best,

Duncan.
