Created: Sat, 3 Nov 2001 10:09 PM Updated: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 10:51 AM Environment: Operating System: Solaris Platform: Sun Description: It's fairly standard practice to be able to build an autoconf-based package outside of its source tree (which is useful, if you like to keep the untarred source tree lying around, in pristine condition, or if you're building for multiple platforms and want to preserve the build for each) by running configure from the build directory. For example, if I have package foo untarred in /usr/local/kits/foo/ and want to build it in /usr/local/builds/foo/, I'd run /usr/local/kits/foo/configure from /usr/local/builds/foo/. If that doesn't work, there's actually an option for configure '--srcdir=DIR' that's supposed to do the trick. So, Xerces-C++ should provide some mechanism for supporting builds from outside the source directory (meaning that all paths in the makefiles must be in terms of '$(SRCDIR)', and runConfigure should check $0, to see where it lives, rather than assuming this to be '.', so it can try to run configure from the right place). --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
