This is a very good and valid point :-)
A good way of managing this after the simplification would be to use
GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR, which
is already implemented, I'm just not sure how well it works across all
project types (anyway
it can be made to work).
If we had a well-working GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR, you could easily keep multiple
builds of your source
in different directories ... eg
Eg,
make GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR=./non-debug
make GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR=./debug debug=yes
make GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR=./profile profile=yes
make GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR=./Experiment [...my flags...]
That should work.
GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR works that if you don't specify a GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR,
everything is build
by default in '.' (with the object files in './obj'). If you specify a
GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR, everything
is built wherever you specify (eg, in ./non-debug, so you end up with
./non-debug/obj/libmystuff.so,
./non-debug/Gorm.app, ./non-debug/MyBundle.bundle, etc).
Well, I guess we really need to get GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR working properly for
all projects ...
another thing to do ;-)
Thanks
