[MPlayer-users] Building for multiple processors/machines from one source tree

[Brian J. Murrell]

Is there an easy way to build for multiple processors/machines using
one (nfs shared) cvs-updatable source tree?  I have several machines I
build Mplayer for and not having to keep multiple copies of the source
tree or making hard-link shadows of it would be nice.

I am thinking a subdirectory per machine in the source tree where
target files (.o, .a, config*, etc.) get built while the source is taken
out of the main directory would be nice.

I seem to recall that gnu autoconf has/had this feature.  Due to
Mplayers deep dependence on being built on the hardware it will be run
on, this would be a much nice feature.

Thots?
