Re: [Nautilus-list] eel compilation problem

One problem i see in the Makefile is that the generated .c files aren't
cleaned on 'make clean'

I just checked in a fix into eel/eel/Makefile.am.  Until we figure out
the dependency problem, you can do make clean and rebuild and you should
be in business again.
