As a WebKit developer, I want to use GNOME Builder to work on it. In WebKit, we have in-house scripts that expect binaries and libraries to be found in a specific location. Currently, Builder doesn’t allow specifying a custom build directory. I want to implement that. I came up with this prototype:
Feature requests in any project need to go through some level of validation and community involvement, which happens in a forum like GNOME Discourse. This normally applies to features which could benefit from the inputs here. This also saves time for project maintainers who are already busy.
It might not apply to something which is straightforward though, as in your case.
