Generated Makefiles clean-up

[tora]

Hi,
I've compiled qt from the sources passing to configure some switches.
Now I want to get rid of this configuration and re-compile all passing this time to configure some other switches.
I've tried:
make confclean
but most of the Makefiles generated by configure the fist time was called remain there.
My question is: which target should I specify to make to get rid of all the generated Makefiles and go back to a "virgin" source tree?

** yes I'm a newbie: I post to the wrong sub-forum. I would be glad if some admin will move this thread in the Qt->Installation and Deployment sub-forum. Thanks ind advance and sorry :o**

Makefiles remains, contents changed. Just go on.
If you really really want a virgin version, unpack the source package again. That's not time-consuming:p

Mmmhh.. that not exactly my case.
I did a git clone of the official repository and I compile it and install it under /opt/qt-latest. Then I checkout the tag v4.5.1, the latest official release, and wanted to compile it and put the result in /opt/qt-4.5.1, to be able to use both the latest version of the library and the latest official version.
The problem is that make confclean + configure + make led me to some compilation errors related, as far I understood, to some previously created Makefiles (Later I can post exactly the errors I got). That the reason why I'd like to have a make-target to remove all the generated makefiles.

Thank you anyway.

you can control the behavior of confclean by yourself.
