A good question and one worth digging into in a bit of detail, as I don't understand the original Makefile decision that leads me to need it. If you run configure without --enable-doxygen, running 'make doxygen' in the */docs/ subdirectory *does* drop a doxygen file; here is what ends up in the Makefile in this build configuration: doxygen: gattrib.dox @echo 'Creating doxygen documentation for gattrib...' @echo 'Doxygen is not installed on your system.' >> $@ @echo 'The documentation can not be built from the sources.' >> $@ (the bottom two lines end up in the "doxygen" file) Going on the ideal that make distclean and make maintainer-clean should both remove every file that wasn't in the tarball or git respectively, I felt it valid to remove that file for both of those clean targets, hence patch 0003 and 0004. However, what I don't really get is the need to create that file in the first place. Why not just echo the messages to the transcript rather than dropping a file that, without opening it, is very difficult to know what it is for?
