Follow-up Comment #3, bug #29730 (project gnustep):

Here is a proposed patch to fix this issue.  While here, I also fixed
clean/distclean so that all generated files are deleted.  The comments are
probably more verbose than needed, feel free to trim them.

P.S. Tests/base/NSInvocationOperation/GNUmakefile should be removed from the
repository.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29730 (project gnustep):

ok, I understand the problem better. I agree that the fix can wait since it
is a small issue.

To be precise… The annoying case is when you type 'make distclean' just
before leaving a project directory and later on you return to this directory.
When you return, you might type 'svn up  make distclean' to be sure you
start on a clean base, but right at this point you get stuck as you described.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #29730 (project gnustep):

Thanks Quentin

yes, that's a known issue in gnustep-base's makefiles/configure.  It's time
to fix it :-)

It works that way because the GNUmakefiles are partially generated by
./configure, so you need to do a full ./configure before you can run any
targets - including 'distclean'.

That makes sense for building or installing, but for 'distclean' it doesn't
make that much sense.  I find it annoying when you can't complete the
./configure (eg, missing dependency), and you're stuck as you can't go forward
and can't even go back to a distclean state because distclean itself requires
configure.

There are a number of possible solutions, but I'd need to think a bit.  It's
not an urgent issue though, may even be prudent to fix it after the release.

Suggestions (if anyone has any) are welcome. :-)

Thanks

Details:

If I build and clean GNUstep Base svn trunk with:
./configure  make  make distclean  make distclean

The last 'make distclean' invocation appear to re-run ./configure when I
expect it to do nothing.

I haven't tested it, but I suppose the same issue exists in GNUstep GUI and
Back.

Quentin.
