But aren't DISTCLEANFILES only remove for make distclean? The *.gcno *.gcda could be added to MOSTLYCLEANFILES since you would normally want to regenerate them. I am not sure that would resolve your issue though. > If that's no good, I would then like to see a '+=' > in all the "*CLEANFILES" definitions in each level for each file > so it's not confusing or looking like a possible mistake. You mean even for MAINTAINERCLEANFILES and MOSTLYCLEANFILES? and even for those (config/Makefile.am ./Makefile.am doc/Makefile.am) that don't include eu.am (and also don't use CLEANFILES, except for the top-level one)? The "rule" now seems to be: - When you use CLEANFILES you should now always use +=. = MAINTAINERCLEANFILES and MOSTLYCLEANFILES uses =. Is that "rule" really that confusing? Cheers, Mark
