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

[Simon J Mudd]

I was hoping to be able to build Freeswitch using VPATH, that is have the src and object directories in different locations.
This ensures that the src tree is unspoilt and I don't have to reclean it if I do updates.

However this does not seem to work:

[sjmudd at mad07 src]$ pwd
