Issue ID: 9989 Summary: «make clean» shall not delete libraries/libldap/ldap.pc and libraries/liblber/lber.pc Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: build Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: dpa-openldap@aegee.org Target Milestone: ---

«./configure» and «./config.status» do create ./libraries/libldap/ldap.pc, ./libraries/liblber/lber.pc, while «make clean» deletes both .pc files.

«make install» fails, if ./libraries/libldap/ldap.pc or ./libraries/liblber/lber.pc are missing.

«./configure && make clean && make depend && make install» is a valid workflow for many other (autoconf/automake based) projects.

./libraries/libldap/ldap.pc and ./libraries/liblber/lber.pc shall be deleted by «make distclean», and kept by «make clean».

See also https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html for the idea behind «make clean» vs «make distclean».
