Such stale directories often break compilation. +The current directory and all directories beneath it will be examined. +.PP +Note that this tool does not remove anything; it simply prints what to +do as a series of remove commands. You can copy and paste these commands, +or use them with eval in a script. +.PP +This tool works better if the source directory is not the same as the +build directory, since it will not print directories containing old +executables. +.PP +This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-f\fP +Actually perform the deletions instead of just printing them out. +Use this option with care (no warranties, etc.)! +.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES +One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source +directory is different from the build directory. +If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, +the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used. +.TP +OBJ_SUBDIR +Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the +source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fItdesdk\fP +and the build directory is \fItdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR +should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP. +.TP +OBJ_REPLACEMENT +A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory +into the build directory. +For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk\fP and the +build directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could +be set to \fIs#tdesdk#tdesdk-obj#\fP. +.SH AUTHOR +pruneemptydirs was written by David Faure <faure@kde.org>. +.br +This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
