If I call : $ make clean the .pdf is correctly removed. So you needn't an example and the automake version. You are right if I call : $ make maintainer-clean the .info file is removed :-) But my Makefile is also removed :-( So, I need to call the configure script to build it again. But, you are wrong, if I call : $ make distclean only the .pdf and Makefile are removed :-( So, now, I know how to remove the .info file. But I am disappointed because I need to rebuild the Makefile which is also removed. Is there an other way to remove my .info file without remove my Makefile?
