From 736571638af5d8a6014deadd17be32c6abe0e242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: keithw Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2000 16:45:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [project @ 2000-07-03 16:45:04 by keithw] Add note that `gmake clean' should *not* destroy the work of `gmake boot'. In all cases, the sequence autoconf, ./configure, gmake boot, gmake clean, gmake all should work correctly. ** Please verify that this is indeed the case! ** --- docs/building.sgml | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/building.sgml b/docs/building.sgml index eebe7aa..99a36ac 100644 --- a/docs/building.sgml +++ b/docs/building.sgml @@ -1230,7 +1230,8 @@ programs.
