is it possible to build multiple configurations in one go?

[Martijn Ras]

Heya Folks,

Reading this and other mailing lists of configuration & building tools 
helped me automating the build process of a number of projects i
'm maintaining. However, i'm having difficulty solving the last step and 
hope you may help me out.

I used to duplicate my source into a number of copies, with a specific 
name. I'd then work my way through the configuration and make files, 
renaming the targets accordingly and setting the correct configuration 
options.

I want to perform the whole process in one go on the main source, to 
reduce the risk of having to keep the different copies synchronised.

I've updated my source structure in such a way that a directory is 
created under the 'src' directory for every configuration. Each of these 
directories contains an automake file that builds the correctly named 
targets for that configuration.

So far so good, however, this results in a bunch of files with different 
names but all with exactly the same configuration ...

I need each target to have it's own specific configuration. Is there a 
way to set up the configuration so that per directory a different 
configuration will be generated.

For instance, i'd run autogen.sh --enable-configuration1 on the 
myProject_configuration1 copy and autogen.sh --enable-configuration2 on 
the myProject_configuration2 copy.

I was thinking that perhaps the way to automate this is by having the 
configuration determine the necessary options by looking at the 
directories name, but i fail to see how to actually get it to do so ...

Mazzel,

Martijn.
