Bug description: make clean does not empty the modules dir Neither "make clean" nor "make distclean" empty the modules dir. ./configure --with-imap=shared --with-zlib=shared make make install This gives you imap.so and zlib.so in your extension dir, as expected. Now, suppose you decide you didn't want to do that, and you rebuild: make distclean ./configure --with-imap --with-zlib make make install You'll get fresh copies of the previously compiled and now useless modules in your extension dir because the make distclean never deleted them.

Files created by configure scripts are better to be deleted by make clean or make distclean. (Or at least, with cvsclean) Is there any reason not to delete them? -- Yasuo Ohgaki
