Re: Automake and Texinfo: clean the info or pdf file

   If I call :
   $ make
   The .info file is built.

   If I call :
   $ make clean
   The .info file is not cleaned.

   It is the same thing for pdf, if I call :
   $ make pdf
   The .pdf file is built.

   If I call :
   $ make clean
   The .pdf file is not cleaned.

   Is there a rule which clean the .info or .pdf file?

That is as intended, documentation is supposed to be distribtued with
the tarball so that users do not need to install whatever tools are
needed to generate it, hence why `make clean' does not remove them.
If you wish to remove all generated files, you'll need to do `make
distclean'.
