And because with autotools, the build process works as well in the source tree, in a build subdirectory, or completely separate build directory, no particular approach is preferred over another.
If CMake recommends one approach (or avoiding another), this implies it doesn't work well (or as well) with that approach because of shortcomings in the tool rather than "it's good development practice". Or maybe its both? Eric. _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
