Dennis E. Hamilton commented on COR-22:
---------------------------------------
Interesting idea about build.win.
I think there should be a setup script in the repository, but the script could
be run from wherever we want the build tree to be constructed and operated.
This could even provide the properly-parameterized CMake command.
Just thoughts. Not baked yet.
> 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.
