Re: [Gaim-devel] [PATCH] allow gaim to build/install when srcdir != builddir

[Brian J. T. <bj...@co...>]

he means that you can build gaim outside of the source tree.  i.e., if 
you have gaim sources in ~/src/gaim, you can do this:

$ mkdir ~/src/gaim-build
$ cd ~/src/gaim-build
$ ../gaim/configure && make && make install

and then keep or delete ~/src/gaim-build without the src dir being 
touched.  with an out-of-tree build, config.status is created in the 
root of the build dir, and having a makefile rule that depends on 
$(top_srcdir)/config.status prevents this whole thing from working.
