If you're experimenting with the autoconf builds, I don't know. The
following answer assumes you're using the XP diving makefiles as follows:
cd abi
make
These diving makefiles build both the abi tree itself, as well as any
required peer libraries. The various make targets clean as follows:
tidy -- remove object files for the current subtree ONLY
abiclean -- remove all abi object files
clean -- remove all abi and peer object files
realclean -- remove everything, including binaries & generated headers
Thus, in short:
tidy < abiclean < clean < realclean
Hope that helps.
>Will one of them clean out a make install?
Sorry. The answer to that one's probably platform-specific. AFAIK, Win32
doesn't even *have* a "make install" target.
