Description
Hi,
PowerDNS 3.1 won't build in an out-of-tree setting:

Having PowerDNS support out-of-tree-builds will make it much easier to build a pdns-static package from the Debian source tree. I would love to see tht work in PowerDNS.
When inquiring about out-of-tree-builds, I was pointed towards http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html
Maybe these docs will help to find out how to make PowerDNS support out-of-tree builds. They surely didn't help me ;-)
I'm going to postpone additional work on the Debian PowerDNS package regarding pdns-static.deb until it has been determined whether this proposed change to upstream PowerDNS is worth implementing.
Greetings Marc
