Paul,
Not sure what you mean by "standard"; there are no predefined targets that come with GNU make.
Perhaps "common" is a better word to use then, and not standard.
There's no common target "cleandir" that I'm aware of, so we can't suggest exactly what it might mean.
From my searching via google i've found the cleandir target in use in quite
a few makefiles, hence my belief that it was a common target though obviously,
not as common as clean.
I was unable to find a clear definition of "cleandir" hence my enquiry to this mailing list. My main reason for understanding its use stems from the following lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl installed on my std RH9 linux box.
/* Intercept clean rules for current directory */ #undef clean #define clean cleandir
i can't figure out why this undef is needed and it was messing up some imake rules I have named clean.lib etc... These were being processed into cleandir.lib etc.. by the above lines so I wanted to understand about cleandir.
Oh well. i've solved the problem now by putting
#undef clean
in my Imakefiles.
Thank you for your reply.
Pete
