Development install tree: cannot clean intermediate targets
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
With PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT turned on.
- make && make install
- the bin/ and lib/ are built
Since the install directory contains about 5800 "*.cxx.o" files (273MB worth), it needs to be cleaned up before distributing the development install tree for building plugins.
Using the make target 'clean' removes the ".cxx.o files, but also removes all of the bin/ files - rendering the installation useless.
On a positive note, the contents of lib/paraview-MAJOR are left intact.
It seems that a clean development install tree cannot be realized without writing external cleanup scripts.
