Next: What Goes in a Distribution, Previous: What Gets Installed, Up: GNU Automake [Contents][Index]
The GNU Makefile Standards specify a number of different clean rules.
Generally the files that can be cleaned are determined automatically by
Automake. Of course, Automake also recognizes some variables that can
be defined to specify additional files to clean. These variables are
MOSTLYCLEANFILES, CLEANFILES, DISTCLEANFILES, and
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES.
