James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-3072:
--------------------------------------------
cmake facilitates this quite nicely. I have many years experience with it and
ctest (but not so much with cpack). If there is a separate cmake issue in Jira
this could be moved as a subtask of that, or the essence of this put into the
requirements for a cmake implementation. The existing implementation could be
made to work this way too. Projects like glibc (or is it gcc? I forget which)
force configure to be ran outside of the source directory.

> Key: THRIFT-3072
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3072
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build Process
> Affects Versions: 0.9.2
> Reporter: James E. King, III
>
> The thrift build environment leverages .gitignore extensively to allow for
> [builds in the same
> directory|http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftInstallation] as the source.
> It would be preferable to allow for an external build directory such that the
> source directory could be read-only. This would allow for an extensive
> simplification of .gitignore and easier cleanup of builds, and maintain a
> pristine source directory.
