The .DELETE_ON_ERROR target doesn't work for directories. If I have a
directory "t2" and there is an error while updating the "t2" target but
after the "t2" directory has been created, the directory is not removed,
even if I have specified .DELETE_ON_ERROR as a target. Here is an example:
t1:
touch t1
false
t2:
mkdir t2
false
Here is an example of the output:
$ ls
Makefile
$ gmake t1
touch t1
false
gmake: *** [t1] Error 255
gmake: *** Deleting file `t1'
$ gmake t2
mkdir t2
false
gmake: *** [t2] Error 255
$ ls
Makefile t2
As you can see, the directory is not removed, but the file is. Thanks,
Jon.
