cd /else/where
mkdir pgbuild (or whatever)
cd pgbuild
../../../where/ever/pgsql/configure
make
make install
This basically separates the built files from the source files. So when
you do a CVS update and you forgot to clean beforehand, then you can
just delete the directory.
Then again, the really recommended way to "live dangerously" is to use
--enable-depend. This should always be safe except when there are
major reorganizations in the source tree. (Some people don't trust
this, but I do.)
