[Freeswitch-users] Building Freeswitch with VPATH (src and obj directories are different)?

Why?

In any case on my mac (Leopard) neither make clean or distclean fully
cleans up afterwards.  I would prefer to get a completely "untouched"
source tree after doing this.  If that's supposed to work and I should
post a bug or report the problem in more detail then I can do that.

ok. That's one of the reasons for liking to use VPATH builds. It's also 
why many BSD system builds use this so that you can mount the source
tree readonly (perhaps from another server) and build the binaries
in a separate directory independently.

If that's not supported then that's fine.

I was trying to build the latest svn version of freeswitch (Revision:
15138) and this didn't build. As I'm not too familiar with compiling
at least on the Mac I thought I'd first try to see if a VPATH build
would work better. I'll have to try and investigate further.
