Can this cause > any problems? No need for "make clean" (usually). Cvs ignores your objects. One better way to it is to keep the srcdir and builddir separated. In srcdir you do a "make -f Makefile.cvs" and in builddir the usual sequence of: $HOME/cvs/kdelibs/configure -blablabla (your options, assuming cvs is the where you keep the stuff) make su make install exit That way you can even nuke builddir without losing the sources.
