[issue31934] Failure to build out of source from a not clean source

[Xavier de Gaye]

Xavier de Gaye <xdegaye at gmail.com> added the comment:

To build out of the 'src' source tree (a subdirectory of the current directory) in a 'build' subdirectory:

$ ls -ld src
drwxr-xr-x 21 xavier xavier 4.0K Nov  3 23:50 src/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ $(cd ../src && pwd)/configure && make

This is useful when you build for multiple platform configurations. For example on Android one can build for multiple API versions and multiple architectures (x86_64, armv7, aarch64, ...).
