[Cdk-devel] problem with new patch scheme

[Christoph S. <ste...@ic...>]

Hi everybody (but mostly, hi Egon :-)),

I have encountered a problem with the newly established scheme of 
copying the CDK source tree from ${src} to ${build}/${src} before 
compiling it. This breaks the functionality of Ant-compatible IDE's 
(like JEdit with AntFarm), which parse Ant compile messages and allow 
you to jump right to the source code point where the error occurred.

When you do this (and you did not yet discover the problem I'm talking 
about :-)), then you correct your errors in this highly volatile copy of 
the sources in ${build}/${src}, which gets overwritten with the next 
compile run.
Very funny game, but also very frustrating in the end, when you discover 
that all your corrections have been made in the wrong place and have 
been overwritten when you last hit the compile button.

I wonder if we can find a way of applying patches (do we have to, 
anyway?) which leaves the sources in their original location?

Cheers,

Chris
