MAINTAINERCLEANFILES worked perfectly; thanks. > Of note, GCS states that: "More generally, ‘make maintainer-clean’ should not > delete anything that needs to exist in order to run configure and then begin > to build the program". Yes, but that rule of thumb is at odds with another rule of thumb: "Never commit generated files to a source code repository." And considering that "autoreconf -i" does a perfect job of regenerating all of the files I listed, I'm willing to break the GCS rule. Besides, I'm the only developer on this little project, so nobody will care but me. :) Trevor
