jan iversen commented on COR-22:
--------------------------------
it seems our build instructions needs to be updated, we build today without
using any environment variables.
I have nothing against environment variables when really needed, but that is of
course only my opinion. if all others are in favour of using it, then I will
not block it.
I have simply seen through experience from e.g. AOO how the use of environment
variables can explode and lead to many funny effect when not set correctly.
> Do not use within-repository folders for any build-related activity

> Key: COR-22
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COR-22
> Project: Corinthia
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Dennis E. Hamilton
> Labels: building, cmake, external-resources
>
> When building from the source, all transient data, including downloads of
> externals, should happen separate from the source-code repository working
> copy.
> The repository working copy may be in a location that is not suitable for
> writing. It may also be a performance bottleneck to use the same location as
> the working repository for transient build-related material. There may also
> be storage-limitation considerations.
> Ideally, a build directory can be created anywhere and all build activities
> conduction in that location, separate from the source-code repository. One
> complication is any downloading of external sources and libraries, and how
> those can be included in any build of the source tree.
