In the source tree (right?). And it will be distributed (with 'make dist'). > If I call : > $ make clean > The .info file is not cleaned. Nope, because it is distributed. Distributed things are usually cleaned with maintainer-clean; or distclean. This makes more sense if you consider that, users that download tarballs of your package, will already have the info file after extraction; it's then only logical that 'make clean' should not remove it. See also 'info Automake Clean'. > It is the same thing for pdf, if I call : > $ make pdf > The .pdf file is built. In the build tree. But not distributed. > If I call : > $ make clean > The .pdf file is not cleaned. That's weird. It should be cleaned, and over here, it is. Can you send a small example setup to reproduce this? Which automake version do you use? Thanks, Ralf
