Specify additional files to clean when doing a "make clean" with autoconf

Question

I am using autoconf. Right now I have an intermediate .cpp file that is generated. I want to have the .cpp file deleted when I do a "make clean".

I tried specifying the file in a CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES variable, but that only takes effect when I do a make distlclean. Is there a variable to set to delete the file when I do a make clean? If not, how do I do it?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use DISTCLEANFILES, I think.

See http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html#Clean

Answer 2

The correct MOSTLYCLEANFILES or CLEANFILES. DISTCLEANFILES is for "make distclean"
