If you only use out-of-tree build, you are safe here. Maybe we should no longer support in-tree builds. Personally, I nearly never use them. > Fix it by only do it when $(DSOSUF) is not empty. s/do/doing/ > Signed-off-by: Fam Zheng <f...@redhat.com> > --- > Makefile | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index bd9cd4f..0666d6e 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ clean: > rm -f qemu-options.def > find . -name '*.[oda]' -type f -exec rm -f {} + > find . -name '*.l[oa]' -type f -exec rm -f {} + > - find . -name '*$(DSOSUF)' -type f -exec rm -f {} + > + if test -n "$(DSOSUF)"; then find . -name '*$(DSOSUF)' -type f -exec rm > -f {} +; fi > find . -name '*.mo' -type f -exec rm -f {} + > rm -f $(filter-out %.tlb,$(TOOLS)) $(HELPERS-y) qemu-ga TAGS cscope.* > *.pod *~ */*~ > rm -f fsdev/*.pod No, I think it is still too dangerous to use a macro here. There are only two valid possibilities, so it's easy to name them explicitly: find -name "*.dll" -o -name "*.so" Is there a good reason why rm is called with option -f? Normally, -f should not be needed when cleaning generated files because those files are not write protected. The only other reason for -f would be suppressing an error message if rm tries to remove a non existing files, but that does not apply here. I'd also combine all find statements in a single statement. It is not necessary to parse the directory tree several times. That can be done in a separate patch. Regards, Stefan
