[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45646] files in source distribution should not be deleted on "clean" or "distclean"

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #45646 (project octave):

After Rik's change (comment #6) I get this (cloned repo/fresh checkout) on
Mageia-4 Linux (just did the usual 
./bootstrap
in the src dir (= my <development_subdir>/dev) followed by 
../dev/configure ; make -j7
in the build dir:

Copying / symlinking oct-conf-post.h to libgnu/ (OK a dirty hack) fixes the
build for Linux, but cross-building in mxe-octave doesn't work as "make all
dist" doesn't copy it (of course) to libgnu/ in the dist archive.
Manually adding it to the dist archive before building in mxe works, of
course.

I wonder why a mere rename of an include file + its references break the build
process.
