However, this line ignores all other error messages, not just + the missing Makefile error. It's better to use: + . + [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean + . + so that other error messages from the clean or distclean rule will still + be caught (or just remove the "-" if the package uses a static makefile). |
