Yes, some of the peer libraries (outside the abi tree) do briefly run
configure to generate either headers or makefiles. However, our default
realclean targets don't wipe them out as they should:
abi/src/Makefile
This is a bug. As a platform-specific workaround, I recently added the
following hack:
abi/src/config/require/win/Makefile
Note that the realclean target currently doesn't "dive", so you have to be
all the way down in that platform-specific directory for this rule to fire.
We ought to be able to do better than this.
One idea would be to update the top-level makefile to also do something like
the following:
$(MAKE) ABI_ROOT=$(ABI_ROOT) -C config/require/xp realclean
$(MAKE) ABI_ROOT=$(ABI_ROOT) -C config/require/$(ABI_NATIVE) realclean
Better solutions for this would be welcome.
