Re: cvs/HEAD: broken clean on linux+libtool

[Robert Boehne]

Wesley,

IMHO, Libtool is better off if you change your clean rule to:

clean:
        (cd main && libtool --mode=clean rm -f test test.o)
        (cd lib2 && libtool --mode=clean rm -f libb.la b.lo)
        (cd lib1 && libtool --mode=clean rm -f liba.la a.lo)

HTH,

Robert
