I hope somebody implements this in fpmake :) My "subarch" directory approach needed by several targets is already on hold for years as I do not owe to touch fpmake regarding this.
I don't understand why ? Why would you not touch fpmake for this ? It's just adding a level of directories ?
I also do not see any use in split directories for dotted and non-dotted: people messing with the default namespaces can also mess with -Fu. And messing with two variables (default namespaces and -Fu) is normally even worse than having only one variable.
Technically, you can of course throw everything in 1 directory. But having 2 trees keeps things clear, tidy and separate. In case of problems, the cause will be much easier to determine. I have a build system at work. In theory I could clean the directories on startup, build and be done with it.In practice, I create a directory per version of the project at build time, and build in that. Works fine, all clear, no stray files. If there is a
problem, it's usually quickly determined. I do the same for FPC, btw. Michael.
