Make a plain `make` in a build directory build every module into the
build tree. The top Makefile becomes a configure-generated Makefile.in,
and each recursion drives a build subdirectory (created on demand) using
the module Makefile from the source tree.
Makefile -> Makefile.in (config.status generates Makefile in the build
top via AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in])):
* Add MAGICSRC = @abs_top_srcdir@; read VERSION and re-run configure from
${MAGICSRC}.
* Every descent `(cd $$dir && ${MAKE} <goal>)` and `${MAKE} -C $(dir $@)
<goal>` becomes:
mkdir -p <builddir> && ${MAKE} -C <builddir> \
-f ${MAGICSRC}/<dir>/Makefile <goal>
so the build subdir need not pre-exist and the source Makefile is used.
Applied to modules/libs/depend pattern rules and the
tcllibrary/mains/techs/install/clean loops.
* database/database.h: generate from ${MAGICSRC}/.../database.h.in into
the build tree (mkdir -p database), via the generated build-tree
${MAGICDIR}/scripts/makedbh.
* install-dirs/install-tcl-dirs use ${SCRIPTS}/mkdirs (now source-tree);
clean skips absent build subdirs; distclean/dist/tags updated for the
split source/build layout.
scripts/defs.mak.in:
* SCRIPTS now points at the source tree (${MAGICSRC}/scripts) for the
static helpers (mkdirs, printmans, ...); the one generated helper,
makedbh, is referenced directly at ${MAGICDIR}/scripts (build tree).
* Guard VPATH so it is set only inside module subdirectories, never at
the build top -- a top-level VPATH into the source tree could let a
stale source database/database.h shadow the build-tree copy.
scripts/configure.in: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in]); regenerated
scripts/configure.
Verified out-of-tree: `../configure && make modules && make libs` builds
all 33 module libraries (lib*.o and lib*.a) plus the generated
database/database.h into the build tree, with no errors and the source
tree left clean. A full `make` (link the magic program, build techs)
still needs the later outlier fixes (magic/, scmos/, ...).
