Hello,
This is my first message on this list. I'm doing a lot of autotools related work recently so (depending on my level of success) it may be the first of many :-) I read in the Automake manual (the one at www.gnu.org) about CLEANFILES, DISTCLEANFILES and so on. One thing I noticed after going over the manuals and searching the web is that nothing says any of them depend on the others. For example, if I add a file to DISTCLEANFILES, so I also need to manually add it to CLEANFILES? Does the former include the $(latter)? It seems the answer is yes, judging by some code I've seen, but 1) It's just my guess, 2) It should probably be documented and made clear in the Automake manual Since it would be just a minor edit to the texinfo files, I suppose I could send a patch - but first I need to know the answer to my question, of course. I'm going to write some dummy Makefile.am and see what happens in the final Makefile, but I still do prefer to know whether such inclusion of *CLEANFILES is formal and can be expected from Automake.
