[CMake] Building out of source

[Sam Baker]

I have a folder for project files only (everything that CMake creates).
To build to that folder I just run cmake from that folder.

 

I have:

 

cpp/project_files/tools

cpp/project_builds/tools

cpp/source/tools

 

The CMakeLists.txt is in cpp/source/tools.

 

I run CMake from cpp/project_files/tools and specify ../../source/tools
as the last command line argument to CMake so that it gets the
CMakeLists.txt from the correct folder.

 

It puts all project files in project_files/tools and incidentally all of
my install targets go to cpp/project_builds/tools using the CMake
command line argument
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING="../../project_builds/tools"

Hi,

Instead of using the GUI frontend for CMake on windows, I'm choosing to
use the command line directly (Don't ask why). How can I specify the
directory for which the target files are placed when I run "cmake -G"?
Right now all of the vcproj files and cache are being placed in the same
directories as my source tree, which I do not want.

Thanks.
