#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 rjvbertin@…): The point with that is: how are you going handle all different build systems? CMake has a portgroup exactly because it doesn't work the same as the legacy `configure` approach, ditto for qmake and the Python group. So even if base could support OOT builds for the systems it supports, the cmake (etc) portgroup files will still need to redefine the appropriate values. You wanted a patch?
