Hi Sam,

Set up a minimal Makefile.am and configure.ac to build this. Building
this will create .deps/<filename> with a:
main.o: main.h main.c
When I do this with GCC, the .deps/<filename> also contains a line
main.h:
and I have no problem removing main.h and the #include and just run
'make'. If you don't have that line (main.h:), it's bug in your compiler
and I suggest you report it.
Now: 1) 'rm -f main.h" 2) Remove the #include
Then try to build this:
make clean
make
Will fail because that dependency exists and make does not know how to
build main.h. I have to rm -rf .deps myself.
As a rule of thumb 'make clean' does not remove things that were created
during configure (or upstream), but obviously depends on how people
write the Makefile.am.
Cheers,
Peter
