Are you the project leader for this software? Yes, but build systems are very tricky and entirely out of my expertise. As long as the system builds in some way, I don't see the need for supporting every possible exotic combination. Notably, building the software from some directory other than the one in which the software is located seems completely unnecessary, as far as I can see. > Would you like to integrate any update suggestions for this area from me into > your source code repository? Perhaps, but perhaps not. I don't want to make changes that are inessential and that I don't understand. Any thing that one person proposes would have to be reviewed by someone else. julia
