My gnulib-based (in-progress) changes also automatically adds files to m4/, and gnulib-tool provides a way to remove such directories. Adding this line to Makefile.am should do the trick: MOSTLYCLEANDIRS = m4 My changes take care of that one. This takes care of the other: MOSTLYCLEANDIRS += autom4te.cache _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
