Building 5.8 from git / ignore objs
Solved
Installation and Deployment

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
