I hope this isn't anything particularly special because I feel like I've
been doing it forever, but..
==# cvs -z3 co pgsql
==# mkdir pgsql.build
==# cd pgsql.build
==# ../pgsql/configure --my-args-here
==# make
...
Keeps all the build files and everything in pgsql.build and leaves the
pgsql directory pristine.. I've pretty much always done things this way
so I guess I just assumed it was common. Maybe it's not what you're
looking for though.
Would that help?
Thanks,
Stephen
