#33259: cmake portgroup: out of source build option, possibly by default ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:45 michaelld@…]:

I don't like the multiple use of "mkdir" even when it is unnecessary (not out of tree build), but it works (I think 'port' internally either checks to see if the directory already exists & if so then does nothing, or just ignores what the system call returns; I didn't test beyond this).

Tcl’s `file mkdir` command does nothing if the directory already exists. I think it’s nice to not have to check first :) http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/file.htm#M22 (Incidentally, I don’t see why base doesn’t create `configure.dir` automatically, but that’s a question for another time.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33259#comment:46> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
