Building 5.8 from git / ignore objs

conradjones

Hi

I'm building 5.8 from git. I've got it built which is great, but there are loads of object files and build fluff, is there a prebuilt .gitignore to save me rolling my own ?

Or a trick to build in a seperate folder to keep the build fluff away from the source ?

Thanks

@conradjones The trick is: out of source build. Just go to another directory and call configure from there:

mkdir ~/qt_build
cd ~/qt_build
PATH_TO_QT_SOURCE/configure ....
make
make install
