Darin and I already made arguments for out-of-tree builds two weeks ago in the thread "Generating files in source tree considered harmful" two weeks ago. To summarize: - darin and I both like it because we're used to doing it that way from previous projects - cross-compilation often requires different generated files for different targets, may as well put them in the output directory (not that we're going to support cross-compilation any time soon) I think what it comes down to is: whoever wants to solve the problems we're hitting should just go ahead and draft a solution, people will probably live with whichever solution works. - Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
