Description Thomas McGuire 2007-09-16 17:21:26 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

"make clean" does not remove moc and h files.

It took me a while to find out why my build failed even after cleaning the build directory. The cause was a modified kcfg file, whose .h file in the build directory was not updated or removed.

Simply removing the entire build dir is out of question for me, as I have my heavily modified KDevelop projects files in there, which I don't want to loose.

Is this for files generated via automoc ?

I see this for every .moc or moc_*.cpp file that is generated in the build dir. It's probably somewhere from kde4_add_executable() that this happens.

Comment 3 Alexander Neundorf 2008-06-11 23:26:19 UTC

Ah, ok. These are the files generated by automoc.
A target to force regenerating these files is on the TODO.

Thank you for the bug report.

Works fine in newer versions, probably because these things are directly handled by CMake these days.
