Full Discussion: MAKE-like build that deletes orphans?
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users MAKE-like build that deletes orphans? Post 302525168 by Corona688 on Thursday 26th of May 2011 02:50:08 AM

Why build orphan targets in the first place if you're just going to delete them? Make won't build orphans unless that target is either given or first since nothing pulls them in. Or are you just saying you want intermediate files deleted?

I suspect Make can be made to do what you want, but to tell you how you'll need to be a lot more specific about what you're actually doing.

dh_auto_clean

DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)                                                     Debhelper                                                    DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)

NAME

       dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build

SYNOPSIS

       dh_auto_clean [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate
       command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or
       clean target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is
       run to clean the package.

       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip
       using dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.

OPTIONS

       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.

       -- params
           Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_clean usually passes.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
