[Bro-Dev] Bifcl and CMake

Hi,

it seems that Bifcl doesn't clean up its output files when it fails.
This means that if one types
   make
   # bifcl has error, make aborts but bifcl has been created
   make
   # make since that bifcl was successful because it finds the
   # bifcl output. Error messages happen were bifcl-outputfiles
   # are included in C-files.

Can you tell CMake to remove the generated output files (if they exist)
when an add_custom_command failed?


Thanks,
Gregor


PS: I'll change bifcl, so that it cleans up after itself. However, my
current error is a segfault in bifcl (which I'll try to fix as well).
But that makes me think that it would be indeed good if make can clean
up when a command fails.
