My usual modus operandi is:
1. check out the project into some directory "foo".
2. create another directory "foo.build", somewhere outside of
"foo".
3. "cd foo.build"
4. Run some configuration script/file located in "foo", to
generate "foo.build/Makefile".
5. Run "make".
I've started playing with "dub", and it *seems* to assume that
you want the files generated during the build process to reside
directly inside your checked-out source tree.
Is that true? And if so, am I fighting dub's design by
attempting out-of-source builds?
I haven’t tried it, but from the docs it seems that
“--temp-build” does an out-of-source build, although it’s not
exactly like your modus operandi.
