That would be the minimal solution.
I have created issue 124263 [1] for it. I have some trouble to reproduce your problem because
a) I don't want to delete my object files at the moment :-)
b) When INPATH is not set then typically the whole solar environment is not set. But in that case dmake complains that it can not find startup.mk. Unless dmake is in PATH. But that is usually not the case when the solar environment is not set ...

I see in the Makefile:

clean .PHONY

                 -rm -rf solver/*/$(INPATH)

I am going to make an assumption that I performed the dmake clean and
$INPATH was not set, therefore  rm -rf */ was performed????

I am not sure why, but I just did a dmake clean in ../main and once if
finished all the module directories including source was deleted.
Thankfully, I had a backup.  Can anyone explain this?

Hello Raymond --

Yes, an incredibly annoying thing and one I have experienced as well.

  If you "source" your env script and THEN do "dmake clean", only the bits 
generated toward the native build will disappear. The clean script does a MUCH bigger remove if you 
don't do that first. The first time this happened to me, I freaked a bit, but as I hadn't made any 
local mods, an svn update got everything back.

  It's good that you had a backup since I'm assuming you made local mods that 
you wanted to keep.  The build doc needs a bit of updating to help others avoid 
this pitfall.


Happy coding!
