Hi, I've found a really minor wrinkle in building where libnetutil/makefile.dep isn't removed by clean. Subsequent builds may then use the wrong dependency info and fail after reconfiguration since this file doesn't get refreshed. In my case I'm cross building for different targets, so changing the include paths keeps falling over this. This is with the 6.00 release, but it looks like the problem is still in https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/libnetutil/Makefile.in and https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-releases/nmap-6.01.DARPA1/libnetutil/Makefile.in. There follows a tiny patch based on my local SVN copy (i.e. different revision number) which adds makefile.dep to the clean target; this is the same way as nsock cleans up this file.
Thanks for this suggestion. "distclean" already deletes makefile.dep. Is deleting dependencies on "clean" really expected behavior? I tried the GNU Hello demo package. It creates src/.deps/hello/hello.Po after "./configure"; the deps file isn't deleted by "clean" but is by "distclean". Doing cross builds and configuring with different include paths probably warrants a distclean in between anyway.
