@allevin I assigned you, but if you are not the right person just change it.

@calewis I didn't even know we had a build target called distcheck. We don't do any testing with this. Is this still important if CMake is going to move forward? i.e. is it worth spending time on an issue that we dont test or anyone uses (that we know of)?

[calewis]

We still have a year at least of using autotools.

@nmhamster similarly to #685 should we close this as won't fix?

I can't reproduce this on Rocky 8 with (system) GCC 8.5.0, OpenMPI 4.1.5, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] at 3c22b629b306f7ec7a7f46cb2051a79b9971e8a3. There are no problems with git clean -xdf . for the in-source build.
