[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40556] libgui Makefile clean targets should not use wildcards

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40556 (project octave):

I noticed this set of commands recently:


rm -f *.o
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/*.o
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/*.lo
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/unix/*.o
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/unix/*.lo
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/win32/*.o
rm -f qterminal/libqterminal/win32/*.lo
rm -f src/*.o
rm -f src/*.lo
rm -f src/m-editor/*.o
rm -f src/m-editor/*.lo
rm -f src/qtinfo/*.o
rm -f src/qtinfo/*.lo
rm -f *.lo


I didn't have time to investigate but I thought it must be something we did. 
If it's automake, then I'm a bit surprised since I would expect it to only
remove files it knows about.    But it does look like these are coming from
automake.  I guess I just never noticed this before.
