Bug ID: 71122
Summary: 'make distclean' should not try to remove
libiberty/testsuite dir
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sourceforge.brock at dse dot nl
Target Milestone: ---
When doing make distclean the Makefile tries to rmdir libiberty/testsuite.
However this directory and its contents are under source control. Someone tried
to suppress the error that this dir cannot be removed by redirecting stderr to
/dev/null and by prepending the rmdir command with a dash (-rmdir). But why so
difficult? And it still generates:
rmdir testsuite 2>/dev/null
Makefile:458: recipe for target 'distclean' failed
make[3]: [distclean] Error 1 (ignored)
Would it not be better to just remove the rmdir line from the Makefile? Putting
its contents under source control seems to indicate you wish to keep it.
Kind regards,
