Would someone elaborate on that a bit?
Those erased files are actually automatically generated by a tool named "flux": http://git.directfb.org/?p=core/flux.git;a=summary This tool grabs files with .flux extension and converts them into sources and headers. If you look at the git repository, you will find these flux files. http://git.directfb.org/?p=core/DirectFB.git;a=blob;f=src/core/CoreDFB.flux;h=2ecd3143495905e7906980a993b33eaf4a0882ef;hb=HEAD However, the flux files are not in tarballs so that's why you don't have them. Event if you do have them, you need to have flux installed. So I think you've found a bug in the building process. I'm not sure how it should be fixed, perhaps not erasing the files with disclean. On the other side, not being part of DFB team. I don't really understand *why* is flux not a part of DirectFB itself. It doesn't make much sense to me to have it on a separate repo and to use it only for git building. Maybe someone can put some light on this issue?
