It is good to be able to build in a subdirectory. Eg

mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make

But when I try it, I get an error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'qtractor.pro', needed by 'qtractor.mak'.  Stop.

I was trying to build Qtractor 0.9.17 on Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit on an Intel processor.

I was able to successfully build in the base directory of the source, rather than in a build subdirectory.

Let me know if you need any other details.

please propose a patch/pull/merge-request with a proper fix (to configure.ac at least)

otherwise, please go the cmake route, thanks
