Am I reading this correctly to say - "creating a separate out-of-source build directory is no longer required -- even for cmake built packages?" Or am I just confused again...
WOW,
I confirmed on a smaller build that with VCS packages no longer require an out-of-source build with cmake.
What about normal packages built with cmake. Is an out-of-source build directory still required?
-- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
It is indeed no longer required with VCS sources, and has never been with tarballs since those are extracted every time you run makepkg so files you might have changed are overwritten anyway. However I sometimes find useful to keep doing that with cmake when you need to figure out why sth won't build, because that way files generated by cmake at build time are in a separate dir.
