make clean does nothing about opm-core HOT 6 CLOSED

I can't reproduce those symptoms on my laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, CMake 2.8.7). In particular,

$ make clean

from the top-level build directory of my (debug-configuration) build tree removes all the .o files as well as the tests and other executables. Granted, there are still quite a lot of generated files in said directory but those (mostly) go away with

$ make distclean

What's your environment?

from opm-core.

I cannot reproduce it either;

make
find CMakeFiles/opmcore.dir -name '*.o' | wc -l
make clean
find CMakeFiles/opmcore.dir -name '*.o' | wc -l

gives 98 and 0 respectively.

Maybe it's a rights issue?

What does

strace cmake -P CMakeFiles/opmcore.dir/cmake_clean.cmake 2>&1 | grep ^unlink

return?

Somehow I must have been mistaken. make clean does clean nearly all of the
files.

The following files remain there after make clean:

all modules: the lib.la files
opm-upscaling: bin/.debug

In my experience 'make clean' is problematic regardless of the build system. If you checked your stuff out using git and want a pristine source directory (while keeping the modifications of files which are already known to git), it is probably best to use 'git clean -fdx'. If want to remove the cruft from the build directory, the easiest thing is probably to delete it and create a new one...

The following files remain there after make clean; lib.la files, bin/.debug

Those files are created by post-processing of the targets; I haven't found any way to add them to the 'clean' target -- that is a special/magic target which is added by CMake directly into the Makefiles and doesn't work with e.g. add_custom_command. If you use make distclean they should go away, too.

Wow! I like your make distclean. Never understood why this is not there in CMake. Seems to be an attitud kind of thing.
