http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4625 won't build from outside of source tree ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-12-29 07:56 ------- From: "Matt G." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4625] - won't build from outside of source tree To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 04:36:49 Well, what I'm saying is that you want to build them in './obj/', the way many other packages do. All automatically-generated parts of the source tree are relative to the build root, which might happen to be coincident with $SRCDIR. All references to the sources are via $SCRDIR. Autoconf really make this easy, so long as you're consistent about using $SRCDIR (as opposed to $XERCESCROOT) in all relative paths. This has the effect of eliminating the need for even setting XERCESCROOT, when building Xerces (of course, you may need to set it when building things which depend on Xerces, but this is usually done by a configure switch, such as '--with-xerces-prefix=<xercescroot>'). Again, one reason for supporting this is so the sources don't have to be duplicated, while allowing the intermediate files to be preserved, if a package is built for multiple platforms. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
