#28001 new enhancement
MacPorts base could support out-of-source builds, or tell user that it doesn't

Description
Packages that have been properly autoconfiscated will usually support out-of-source build, i.e. the following will work:
cd /some/build/directory /path/to/configure make install
For MacPorts base it doesn't and fails with the somewhat obscure error message
Makefile:32: Mk/macports.subdir.mk: No such file or directory
It would be nice if MacPorts would either support building in a directory other than the source directory, or alternatively fail fast (in configure
) with a more informative error message.

Most of the problems caused by out-of-source building have been fixed in r117615, r117616, r117618, r117619, r117620 and r117621.
Out-of-source builds currently fail to install because the Tcl builtin pkg_mkIndex we're currently using to generate pkgIndex.tcl doesn't support analyzing files from multiple directories.

The problem I'm currently seeing with out-of-source make install
(after successful ../configure --prefix=/tmp/mm --with-install-user=$(id -un)
and make
) is:
for f in archive_sites.conf macports.conf pubkeys.conf sources.conf variants.conf; do \ /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o "rschmidt" -g "admin" -m 444 "$f" "/tmp/mm/etc/macports/${f}.default"; \ if test ! -e "/tmp/mm/etc/macports/$f" ; then \ set -x; \ /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o "rschmidt" -g "admin" -m 644 "$f" "/tmp/mm/etc/macports"; \ fi; \ done ginstall: cannot stat 'archive_sites.conf': No such file or directory + /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o rschmidt -g admin -m 644 archive_sites.conf /tmp/mm/etc/macports ginstall: cannot stat 'archive_sites.conf': No such file or directory
etc. for the other conf files.
