The documentation of Automake 1.7.2 says:
Configuration requirements
==========================
[snip]
`AC_CONFIG_FILES'
`AC_OUTPUT'
[snip]
Other listed files are treated differently. Currently the only
difference is that an Automake `Makefile'is removed by `make
distclean', while other files are removed by `make clean'.
However, make clean does not remove the files listed in AC_CONFIG_FILES.
Indeed, in file /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/clean.am, I see:
distclean-generic:
-rm -f Makefile $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)
meaning that the files listed in AC_CONFIG_FILES are removed with make
distclean, contrary to what is stated in the documentation. What am I
missing here?
