With r1197804, I tried:
svn export ~/src/subversion svn-test
cd svn-test
./autogen.sh
mkdir BUILD
cd BUILD
../configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/subversion
make extraclean-swig
The result:
for d in /tmp/svn-test/BUILD/subversion/bindings/swig/python
/tmp/svn-test/BUILD/subversion/bindings/swig/python/libsvn_swig_py; \
do \
cd $d && rm -rf *.lo *.la *.o *.pyc .libs; \
done
/bin/sh: 3: cd: can't cd to
/tmp/svn-test/BUILD/subversion/bindings/swig/python
/bin/sh: 3: cd: can't cd to
/tmp/svn-test/BUILD/subversion/bindings/swig/python/libsvn_swig_py
make: *** [clean-swig-py] Error 2
The following patch fixes it for me. What do you think?
[[[
* configure.ac: In VPATH builds, create directories imitating the source
hierarchy under the build directory, so other parts of the build system
(like "make extraclean-swig") don't have to worry about directories not
existing.
Patch by: peters
(Tweaked by me to avoid creating unnecessary .svn directories when building
from an svn checkout.)
