Hi,
while updating the Debian VMServer from 6 to 7 I noticed that I could
not compile BOINC right away. I had to clean the source directory from
all generated files and rerun _autosetup, configure, make. That's not
what I expected. I expected that running make distclean will reset the
source directory to the state after running _autosetup and running
_autosetup again will pick up the new tools updated by the OS upgrade.
With some more investigation I found that "git clean -f -d -x" takes
care of all ignored and untracked files and resets the directory to a
safe state. But this shouldn't be necessary if the build targets clean
and distclean are working correctly.
Following the GNU convention for makefile targets
(http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets)
I ran some tests with a fresh copy of the boinc-v2 source. I identified
several files that can be ignored and get deleted by clean/distclean and
files that should be deleted by clean/distclean but are not.
Here is a short summary of the convention:
Files created by ./_autosetup need to be deleted in case of a system
upgrade because most likely the tools tested are updated. Those files
are not deleted via Makefile because it is a step before Makefile's exist.
Maybe adding an option to _autosetup that clears the files before
running the tests could help in this case.
What's important for building is that after running "make clean" we
should have the same files as after running "./configure" and after
running "make distclean" we should have the same files as after
"./_autosetup".
The attached textfile contains all those files in gitignore style and
surely some of them should go into .gitignore.
Could someone who wrote the _autosetup and/or build stuff enhance clean
and distclean please?
Regards
Christian
