Hi Viktor,
Hi Maurilio,
It cannot be removed as is, as it may hold files for other compilers,
and cleaning one target should touch the others.
Ok, I do understand.
If there is a command to remove parent dirs *if empty*, in a clean
way, we may add it to the clean rules. For NT shells I couldn't find
such command.
I'm not aware of such a command on OS/2 either, but a rd some_dir
succeeds only if some_dir is empty; so it is not 'clean' but we
could issue a rd obj/platform and then rd obj and if they're empty
they will be removed.
What do you think of such a hack?
The problem with this manual parent-by-parent approach is that it
may break when using new HB_BUILD_NAME feature (and it needs to be
manually tackled each time we happen to change the structure of
the obj subdir). IOW, it's not generic and needs inside knowledge
of the obj path and repeat the delete step manually for all dir
levels.
In fact, I'd be very happy if this could be done in such generic way
since this way we wouldn't even need 'os2-rm'. But, I couldn't yet
find a way to implement it using GNU Make syntax, maybe it's possible
though.
Or, ideally or given there is a 'delete if empty' command, we
could just issue '<delete> obj' and it would clean everything which
is empty inside.
To approach from a different angle, isn't there a way to tell
your SVN software to not automatically want add new files to SVN?
Such feature looks rather strange, after all the sandbox may
contain lots of files we wouldn't want to add to SVN.
Brgds,
Viktor
