Hi,

Well, it was not agreed. Actually, I quit the meeting in protest against
your plan and your lack of understanding.
that we need some standardization
of macro related to builds where builddir != srcdir (and with
possibility to make it builddir = srcdir).
For decades, this is has been called VPATH-builds in make terms.
I was working to make guidelines for ninja and meson. For ninja it
doesn't matter from where you build (it's like make), but meson itself
accepts ONLY out-of-tree builds. Would be nice to get system-wide
(rpm-wide?) macro which stands for:
1) source directory where CMakeLists.txt/meson.build/configure are
2) build directory (I think _target_platform is a good candidate)
to make out-of-tree conversion to in-tree, you do the RPM variable override.
I don't see any need to do so nor has there been any demand for such
beasts ever since rpm exists.
$(PWD), pushd/popd, sub-shelling are common means to avoid these.
For example, in openSUSE it's defined in cmake[1] as __builddir and __srcdir.
Yes, SUSE always has a long history in cluttering their specs with
useless macros and questionable features.
Ideas, suggestions are appreciated!
IMO, just drop this idea. It's featuritis.
