Hi,

 

in chapter ‘2.7 Rules for Cleaning the Directory’ in ‘GNU make’ document.

 

This is the link to the chapter:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Cleanup

 

 

     .PHONY : clean

     clean :

             -rm edit $(objects)

 

The minus sign before ‘rm’ seems to be a clerical error.

 

 

Regards,

Yakup
