Hello Raymond --
Yes, an incredibly annoying thing and one I have experienced as well.
If you "source" your env script and THEN do "dmake clean", only the bits
generated toward the native build will disappear. The clean script does a
MUCH bigger remove if you don't do that first. The first time this happened
to me, I freaked a bit, but as I hadn't made any local mods, an svn update
got everything back.
It's good that you had a backup since I'm assuming you made local mods
that you wanted to keep. The build doc needs a bit of updating to help
others avoid this pitfall.
Happy coding!
