[CMake] Building out of source

[David Cole]

They are placed in the current directory. Run it from another directory and
then give the path to the source tree, as in:
checkout source tree to "source" directory
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../source

In this example, source and build are siblings...


HTH,
David
