How about this diff then? Stefan [[[ * Makefile.in: CLEAN_FILES can be a long list, so use an "echo | xargs" construct which is less likely to cause a "too many arguments" error since the maximum length of the argument list is limited by the shell rather than the kernel. Don't use find to locate .pyc files created by running the test suite, gen_make.py now puts them into CLEAN_FILES. Clean .pyc files in tests/cmdline/svntest explicitly since they are not in the scripts list known to gen_make.py. * build/generator/gen_make.py: Add .pyc files potentially created by running the test suite to the CLEAN_FILES list. ]]] Index: Makefile.in =================================================================== --- Makefile.in (revision 883642) +++ Makefile.in (working copy) @@ -366,10 +366,9 @@ fast-clean: doc-clean rm -rf .libs); \ fi \ done - rm -f $(CLEAN_FILES) + echo $(CLEAN_FILES) | xargs rm -f find $(CTYPES_PYTHON_SRC_DIR) $(SWIG_PY_SRC_DIR) $(SWIG_PY_DIR) \ - $(abs_srcdir)/build -name "*.pyc" -exec rm {} ';' - find $(abs_srcdir)/subversion/tests/ -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 3 \ + $(abs_srcdir)/build $(top_srcdir)/subversion/tests/cmdline/svntest \ -name "*.pyc" -exec rm {} ';' # clean all but bulky test output, returning to before './configure' was run.
