CLONE -won't build from outside of source tree
----------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESC-1689
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1689
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Environment: Operating System: Solaris
Platform: Sun
Reporter: Guillaume CERNIER
It's fairly standard practice to be able to build an autoconf-based package
outside of its source tree (which is useful, if you like to keep the untarred
source tree lying around, in pristine condition, or if you're building for
multiple platforms and want to preserve the build for each) by running configure
from the build directory. For example, if I have package foo untarred in
/usr/local/kits/foo/ and want to build it in /usr/local/builds/foo/, I'd run
/usr/local/kits/foo/configure from /usr/local/builds/foo/. If that doesn't
work, there's actually an option for configure '--srcdir=DIR' that's supposed to
do the trick.
So, Xerces-C++ should provide some mechanism for supporting builds from outside
the source directory (meaning that all paths in the makefiles must be in terms
of '$(SRCDIR)', and runConfigure should check $0, to see where it lives, rather
than assuming this to be '.', so it can try to run configure from the right
place).
