There are at least two solutions:
(1)
Use one directory for source (e.g. ~/src) and another for builds ,
go to the build directory (e.g. ~/build) and run cmake with the source 
directory as argument.
  cd ~/build
  cmake ~/src
compile in ~/build as usual

(2)
You can set a subdir for objects, libs and binaries with:
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH
and
EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
