Cleanup target dir

[shimunn]

Hi,

I'm using corrosion to compile my crate as part of an larger CMake project which has been working great so far. Except for the explosion in disk usage due to CMake/corrosion creating an new target dir for each invokation. Is it possibe to delete the target dir once all binaries/libs have been copied?

Could you clarify what you mean with that?

Deleting the target dir would also mean that incremental builds are impossible

Well I guess the parent CMakeLists.txt is at fault then by creating an new build directory for each invocation. I'd like to delete the target dir nonetheless, is there an variable containing the path?

Yeah, if you create a new build directory - you will get a new build directory.

Corrosion does not provide such a variable, since this is considered an implementation detail and may change.
However if you really want to do something like that, you can look here to see how corrosion sets the build directory.
