Follow-up Comment #2, bugs #12064 (project findutils):
(From Martin Buchholz)
I cvs'ed the distribution and
followed the instructions in README-CVS (for the first time).
Unfortunately, I couldn't perform my test, because
configure; make distclean
failed as follows
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martin/src/findutils/findutils/gnulib'
Making distclean in m4
/home/martin/src/findutils/findutils/gnulib/m4
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/martin/src/findutils/findutils/gnulib/m4'
Makefile:289: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/martin/src/findutils/findutils/gnulib/m4'
make[1]: *** [distclean-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martin/src/findutils/findutils/gnulib'
Looking at gnulib/m4/Makefile.in, I see:
.PHONY: all all-am check check-am clean clean-generic distclean \
distclean-generic distdir dvi dvi-am info info-am install \
install-am install-data install-data-am install-exec \
install-exec-am install-info install-info-am install-man \
install-strip installcheck installcheck-am installdirs \
maintainer-clean maintainer-clean-generic mostlyclean \
mostlyclean-generic pdf pdf-am ps ps-am uninstall uninstall-am \
uninstall-info-am
alloca.m4 \
...
The obvious thing to do was to add two missing backslashes.
Then
configure; make distclean
gives the desired result (regex.c not deleted).
And I confirmed that no other file was deleted,
and that all the generated files are also part of
the distribution tarball.
So findutils is now distclean-clean, at least on Linux.
Could you file a (serious) bug against gnulib?
