Last time I looked, only the include paths and a header needed fixing: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1291 In meantime curlbuild.h is gone, but there might be other issues now. (Note that the PR was rejected.)

The lib/curl_config.h is probably still what makes it complicated. If you have one generated in-tree and then build out-of-tree...

Rejecting in-tree sounds interesting, would this also be possible for autotools?

I suppose it would be possible, but why? With autotools it complains if you first build in-tree and then out-of-tree without cleaning in between to avoid this kind of problems. I think that's good enough.

In general I *think* people are used to building in-tree so preventing that will generate questions and friction.
