I assume you're referring to this:

There are several answers.  Choose whichever you like:

1.) CMake does not support distclean.  See this FAQ entry:

  http://www . cmake . org/cgi-bin/cmakefaq . cgi?req=show&file=faq05 . 006 . htp

Out-of-source builds are strongly encouraged.  Once one tries them, one
never goes back.

2.) Only the makefile generators (not project file generators) have a
    notion of a "subdirectory" in the build tree.  This notion is not
    accessible from CMakeList.txt files for creating targets that
    invoke make in a subdirectory.

3.) You can probably use the technique in the archive message referenced
    above, but instead of using rm, run a shell script of your own that
    uses a find command to traverse the tree and remove the files.  This
    will work in UNIX-like environments.
