In your case, you don't need to do anything for "clean", so you can just remove it. It didn't get to the "make install" phase, but that would also be a problem. You'll have to change that to something which puts the pdf file in the correct tree. cp would not be a bad choice, I think. Of course you can also create a Makefile in your sources which has a "clean" and "install" target which do nothing and the copy. > I cannot proceed form here.

It is quite possible to build packages which don't need compiling, but in case of pdf, there probably really is some "source" (for example, a LaTeX file). It might be useful to really compile that instead of using the "binary" as if it was source (as you do now). However, there is no reason that this approach should not work, AFAICS. > Or maybe I am just too bold and > ignorant and have to give up? Never give up, unless you understand what's happening and know it can't be done (or isn't worth the trouble). I only just built my own first package, so my comments may not be the most valuable, but I hope they help you anyway. > GnuPG key ID: 28A61681 Then why don't you sign your message?
