Example: Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo

each need different build directories, install directories, enviornment options, build flags and such (though just supporting -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= is usually enough)

I already accomplish the same thing with different rc files and the -rc-file option but it’s tedious, as I need to keep them in sync with each other on every change.
A better solution is to say

build-dir=/path/to/build-dir

is default build dir, whereas each of the following override:
build-dir[Release]=/path/to/release
build-dir[Debug]=/path/to/debug

and such. Supporting every variable like this seems like a good way to go.

I think “kdesrc-build –install $modules” already does what you want for “reinstall” (and speaks to the doc issues ;).

As far the other one you’re not the only one to request a way to run a different command to perform ‘make’ or ‘make install’ so I’ll probably open those up to user definition. (But then it still has to be documented well or the feature might as well not exist)

Something I have miss is be able to execute make install/fast in all projects, something like

./kdesrc-build -no-svn -no-build
or
./kdesrc-build -install-fast

It is needed because from time to time we have to clean our bin directory and having to “make install” everything takes some time.

Even more! a
./kdesrc-build reinstall would be phantastic xd
