@ -236,17 +236,34 @@ normally don't want to recompile. For example, the @samp{mostlyclean}
target for GCC does not delete @file{libgcc.a}, because recompiling it
is rarely necessary and takes a lot of time.
@item realclean
Delete everything from the current directory that can be reconstructed
with this Makefile. This typically includes everything deleted by
@code{distclean}, plus more: C source files produced by Bison, tags tables,
Info files, and so on.
@item maintainer-clean
Delete almost everything from the current directory that can be
reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes everything
deleted by @code{distclean}, plus more: C source files produced by
Bison, tags tables, Info files, and so on.
One exception, however: @samp{make realclean} should not delete
@file{configure} even if @file{configure} can be remade using a rule in
the Makefile. More generally, @samp{make realclean} should not delete
anything that needs to exist in order to run @file{configure}
and then begin to build the program.
The reason we say ``almost everything'' is that @samp{make
maintainer-clean} should not delete @file{configure} even if
@file{configure} can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More
generally, @samp{make maintainer-clean} should not delete anything that
needs to exist in order to run @file{configure} and then begin to build
the program. This is the only exception; @code{maintainer-clean} should
delete everything else that can be rebuilt.
The @samp{maintainer-clean} is intended to be used by a maintainer of
the package, not by ordinary users. You may need special tools to
reconstruct some of the files that @samp{make maintainer-clean} deletes.
Since these files are normally included in the distribution, we don't
take care to make them easy to reconstruct. If you find you need to
unpack the full distribution again, don't blame us.
To help make users aware of this, the commands for
@code{maintainer-clean} should start with these two:
@example
@@echo "This command is intended for maintainers to use;"
@@echo "it deletes files that may require special tools to rebuild."
@end example
@item TAGS
Update a tags table for this program.
