Clean against nibble

I am compiling a large project: I am starting compilation and it fails with the error "Incomplete jobs" When I do clean / clobber, it fails elsewhere with the same error?

What is the difference between pure and clobber for compilation? And how to solve the problem described above cold?

The whale is right, clean and clobber may mean what the author of the makefile wants to do.

In practice, although I think that usually the difference between them is this:

clean: deletes all the object files created
clobber: deletes all the object files AND the intermediate dependency files generated which specify the dependencies of the cpp files.

At least that was in the projects I was working on.

I think you say that you run the command

make clean

or

make clobber

, Makefile. , Makefile; . , ( , ), . , , clean clobber Makefile.
