Following standard logic I should # make a $(out_base)/%.clean rule, i.e., "will clean anything" rule. If # this rule happened to be before some other, more specialized rule, and # that rule happened to rm some additional stuff (like %.o tries to rm # .d file, which is also not quite correct...). In other word there # doesn't seem to be a way to properly match "build" and "clean" rules. # One idea is to make the "clean" rule depend on what "build" rule # depends (%.m4 in our case) hoping that this way the rule won't match. # # There are two problems with this approach: # # 1. It is if not iff. However, since the rules come in pairs and make # pick the first implicit rule that matches, it is certain that if # make picked this "clean" rule it also picked corresponding "build" # rule. # # 2. The prerequisite (%.m4) can be an intermidiate file which itself # may not exist. We don't want make to build it just to clean it # or, even worse, to leave it laying around. I guess the only way # to work around this is to provide special do-nothing rules during # cleanup. # # .PHONY: $(out_base)/%.m4.clean $(out_base)/%.m4.clean: $(call message,rm $(@:.m4.clean=),rm -f $(@:.m4.clean=))
