Description James Andrewartha 2006-10-26 16:50:17 UTC 
If a tarball module's build directory already exists, and jhbuild has been asked to clean and run autconf (with -c and -a), it should at least remove am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES - ie  config.status config.cache config.log configure.lineno configure.status.lineno. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an automake rule for this - distclean and maintainerclean also remove the Makefile. Since jhbuild doesn't currently run autoconf for tarball builds this isn't really an option.

Comment 1 Craig Keogh 2007-12-18 11:10:15 UTC 
jhbuild has a clobber mode, which will 'rm -rf' the build directory and rebuild (bug 347114).
Set it in your .jhbuildrc with either:

checkout_mode = 'clobber'
module_checkout_mode['cairo'] = 'clobber'

Or jhbuild reconfigures tarballs with -a option (bug 502278).
Do these methods solve your problem?

I'm not jhbuliding at the moment, but bug 502278 seems like the functionality I was asking for.
