Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-2917:
------------------------------------
Root cause seems to be that the "clean" target removes the gen-c_glib folder
including all contents, especially the hidden .deps folder created by
configure. According to the [GNU
guidelines|http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html#Clean]
this should not be the case:
{quote}
As the GNU Standards aren’t always explicit as to which files should be removed
by which rule, we’ve adopted a heuristic that we believe was first formulated
by François Pinard:
* If make built it, and it is commonly something that one would want to rebuild
(for instance, a .o file), then mostlyclean should delete it.
* Otherwise, *if make built it, then clean should delete it.*
* *If configure built it, then distclean should delete it.*
* If the maintainer built it (for instance, a .info file), then
maintainer-clean should delete it. However maintainer-clean should not delete
anything that needs to exist in order to run ‘./configure && make’.
We recommend that you follow this same set of heuristics in your Makefile.am.

As .deps is created by configure it should be deleted only by distclean, rather
than clean.
> "make clean" breaks test/c_glib

> Key: THRIFT-2917
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2917
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C glib - Library
> Environment: openSUSE 13.2
> Reporter: Jens Geyer
>
> Today I ran into a situation where I wanted to do a {{make clean}} in the
> test/c_glib directory only. After that, the build was no longer possible and
> always ended with:
> {code}
> $> make
> Makefile:564: gen-c_glib/.deps/t_test_second_service.Plo: File or folder not
> found
> Makefile:565: gen-c_glib/.deps/t_test_thrift_test.Plo: File or folder not
> found
> Makefile:566: gen-c_glib/.deps/t_test_thrift_test_types.Plo: File or folder
> not found
> make: *** No rule to make target
> 'gen-c_glib/.deps/t_test_thrift_test_types.Plo'. Stop.
> {code}
> After running ./configure again the problem went away.
