Hello,
Some mainboard support more than one family of CPUs with same socket
type,
Such as SuperMicro/h8scm:
http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron4100/SR56x0/H8SCM-
F.cfm
My implementation is the mainboard CPU type can be configured as
family10 or
family15 CPU.
In order to eliminate the duplicated code, both configuration shares
most of
the platform code,
but some code can't be shared between different family of CPUs.
Take devicetree.cb as an example,
I have created 2 devicetree file :
devicetree_f15.cb for platform with family 15 CPU
devicetree_f10.cb for platform with family 10 CPU
I changed the makefile to create a symbol link "devicetree.cb" link to devicetree_f10.cb or devicetree_f15.cb at compile time.
The problem is that I can't delete the symbol link when make clean/distclean.
I found that make clean/distclean will not traverse the src/ directory.
How can I get this symbol link removed when doing a make clean.
Any other suggestion is welcome.

Kerry,
I thought about a recursive call through the subdirs to do a make clean, but that would make a lot of errors for most Makefiles.inc because they don't have a clean target. I wonder if there is a better way.
Yes, you are right! My temporary solution is adding a target in the mainboard Makefile, not modify any of the top level Makefile. --- a/src/mainboard/supermicro/h8qgi/Makefile.inc +++ b/src/mainboard/supermicro/h8qgi/Makefile.inc @@ -50,3 +50,5 @@ endif
subdirs-y += ../../../../$(AGESA_ROOT)
+clean-mainboard: + $(RM) $(src)/mainboard/$(MAINBOARDDIR)/devicetree.cb
But I think a better and more generic solution should be considered. thanks
