Hi
Again, answering a bit late,

Hello Jason,
I admit I naively have yet to consider whether the actual build could work
or not, and assumed (for lack of knowledge) it could. By chance, is yours
an assumption or you have personally experienced (or know by understanding
its inner workings) that the top level make does not perform correctly if
the sources lie elsewhere (in this case, in the parent directory)?

If your question is related to the origin of the need of configuring and
building in a subdirectory, I am in need of building custom Debian packages
for Asterisk, and my plan was to use a single source package to build
several "monolithic" Asterisk binary packages, each with different
configure options and patches to modify/add some functionalities (I
currently compile and install them manually, and could use some
Debian-magic-automation).
|
Why is that, BTW?
| Quote: | Debhelper offers a "--builddirectory" option which allows to easily perform
such task, and I already successfully used it on more simple software using
the autotool build toolchain, but essentially this works as in my "manual"
example, thus failing.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Does the rest of the build system support this? Anyway, the obvious
workaround is (cd ..; ./configure) .
If you can't use shell and must use an explicit command, add a wrapper
script:
#!/bin/sh
cd ..
exec ./configure "$@"
