I compile a big project:
I run a compilation and it fails with “unfinished jobs” error
When I make clean /clobber it fails in another place with the same error?
What is the difference between clean and clobber for compiling?
And how the problem descrined above cold be solved?
Keith is right, clean and clobber can mean whatever the author of the makefile wants them to.
In practice though I think typically the difference between the two is this:
clean: deletes all the object files createdclobber: deletes all the object files AND the intermediate dependency files generated which specify the dependencies of the cpp files.At least that has been the case in the projects I have worked on.
