.DELETE_ON_ERROR

[Warlich, Christof]

Hi,

it looks like the target of a rule is not deleted in case of an error within 
that rule and in the
presence of a .DELETE_ON_ERROR target if that target is a directory.

Is there a way to change this, i.e. to make Make to also delete targets if they 
are directories
(possibly with content)?

Is there a rationale behind not deleting directories?

Cheers,

Chris
