nmake -confclean not a proper target for nmake
Message 1 in thread
The Qt 4.2.2 INSTALL file indicates to use
nmake -confclean
to completely clean and rebuild the Qt installation prior to running
"configure" again.
Problem: confclean is not a recognized target.
There are many "clean" targets in the main Makefile.
Is nmake -clean the proper command?
I search the archives for this and found one message where the user
indicated the same experience as myself, but with no resolution.
Thanks,
Mark

Maybe it's just a typo in your mail, but the INSTALL file indicates:
nmake confclean
not:
nmake -confclean

Hi Dimitri,
Sorry, I meant to write "nmake confclean" (the superfluous dash was my
fault).
"nmake confclean does not work.
I tried "nmake clean", then ran configure. At the end of the
"configure" run, a message was printed that "nmake clean" is the way to
clean a previous build.
So, it looks like "nmake confclean" is simply a typo in the INSTALL file.
Thanks,
Mark

OK, I had a look at qmake sources and Makefiles and it could be that
it's 'distclean' or maybe plain 'clean' as suggested by you instead of
'confclean'.

Could you send me your top-level Makefile (off-list)?
On other platforms, "confclean" does exist, for example Qt/X11:
$ cat qt/4.2/Makefile
[...]
clean: sub-src-clean-ordered sub-tools-clean-ordered
sub-demos-clean-ordered sub-examples-clean-ordered
qmakeclean FORCE
distclean: sub-src-distclean-ordered sub-tools-distclean-ordered
sub-demos-distclean-ordered
sub-examples-distclean-ordered FORCE
confclean: clean
(cd config.tests/unix/stl && $(MAKE) distclean);
(cd config.tests/unix/endian && $(MAKE) distclean);
(cd config.tests/unix/ipv6 && $(MAKE) distclean);
[...]

It's a known issue, it should be fixed in a future version (probably Qt
4.3 I guess).
