what is the difference between make distclean and make clean?
 

Hi all,
I would like to ask a question as titled..


Thanks

Alice

Have a look at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake...ake.html#Clean

Basically, if "make" built it, "make clean" will delete it. If "./configure" built it, "make distclean" will delete it.

The link is "lyle_s"'s post above is broken.

I think this is the correct link.

the short answer is
make clean -- will delete almost all files made by ./configure and make
make distclean ( this dose not work on ALL programs but most ) will remove ALL files made by ./configure and ALL files made by make
