Hello,
I have two targets, local-clean and distsign, here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/couchdb/trunk/Makefile.am
I have a couple of questions:
* Why do I need to create my own target to clean up the Makefile.in files and
other sundry left overs? Should Automake not ideally clean this up for me?
* Should I be using $(top_srcdir) in those rules or is it safe to assume that
the target is being run from the top source directory?
I realise there may not be "correct" answers to these, but was mainly look for
some idea of best practice.
Thanks,
