Dennis E. Hamilton commented on COR-22:
---------------------------------------
I have been thinking about this some more, without a clear resolution just yet.
There are two reasons to move the download and extraction of externals to the
build structure. First, to have all creation of transient and intermediate
material be in the same place.
The second reason is the step needed for moving DLLs into the build/bin/ area
so that those run-time dependencies are satisfied. (This could be done at
extract time into the same bin/ folder, I imagine.)
As the deployment of binaries and test units is developed farther, this will
possibly become more elaborate, and it will vary even more based on platform.
I don't have a clear picture to offer. This is what I am thinking would be
desirable, so the platform-specific builds are basically one-click procedures,
if that is how we want to go about it.

> 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.
