I just executed make xy with the wrong user (root). If I try to execute make xy with the correct user (non-root) I get some errors: file z already exists etc. A sudo make xy has no effect. How can I "revert" a make to delete all these files and create a "innocent" field.

Have you tried the clean target?

make clean

  • No, because I didn't know this command :) I'll try this!

  • "Nothing to do for the target 'make'"... so it doesn't work

  • You have to run it as root again, just like the "wrong" one before.

    If it thought that make was the target, rather than clean, then you didn't run the command properly.

  • Also as root executed the same "nothing to do..."
