[CMake] Convince Cmake to use a compile rule without having a LIBRARY or EXECUTABLE target

[Brandon J. Van Every]

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables has variables for 
putting executable and library files in a common directory, but I don't 
see anything for object files.  Do you actually need object files in a 
common directory?  Why?

Cheers,

This very often saves a lot of time just to figure out that a small error fails the complete project to rebuild. Another option I hat tried, was to create several (library) targets that would be used to build the individual source directories but this failed because I did not find a way to convince CMake to put all objects (I've also ask on this list for help on this) in the main target build directory.
