Guillaume CERNIER commented on XERCESC-1689:
--------------------------------------------
Has anybody managed to enable Xerces-C++ to be built outside the source tree.
If anybody want to try, we could work together about this problem (thanks to my
experience with Autoconf/Automake)
> CLONE -won't build from outside of source tree

> Key: XERCESC-1689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1689
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Environment: Operating System: Solaris
> Platform: Sun
> Reporter: Guillaume CERNIER

> 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).
