lynx-dev "make distclean" bug report

[Glenn E. Thobe]

Lynx developers-

On unix, "make distclean" fails to delete files *.orig and *.rej which are 
in the source tree.  It looks for them in the object code tree (in my case 
rooted at ../lynx2-8-2/obj/src) and of course doesn't find them there.

Specifically, I applied patch set 17 and configured from a subdirectory:

$ cd .../lynx2-8-2
$ gzcat ../2.8.2dev.17.tar.gz | patch -p1
$ mkdir obj
$ cd obj
$ ../configure --OPTIONS
$ ./make
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `.../lynx2-8-2/obj/src/chrtrans'
rm -f *~ *.bak *.sav
rm -f WWW/Library/unix/makefile src/makefile src/chrtrans/makefile
find . -type f -name '*.rej' -exec rm -f {} \;  <=== we should be in lynx2-8-2
find . -type f -name '*.orig' -exec rm -f {} \; <=== we should be in lynx2-8-2
rmdir WWW/Library/unix && rmdir WWW/Library && rmdir WWW
rmdir src/chrtrans && rmdir src
...

Grepping .../lynx2-8-2/obj/config.status, I noted the following substitution:

address@hidden@%%g

Someone proabably meant for @SRCDIR_CLEAN@ to be the source code root 
directory.  If so, then @SRCDIR_CLEAN@ is used not quite correctly in 
../lynx2-8-2/makefile.in.
