[CMake] cmake output files and different platforms.

[Jakub Zakrzewski]

Hi,

your problem has two natures. From the terminal you're most probably using
the "Unix Makefiles" generator. For xcode it's a multi-configuration
generator that adds the build configuration to the path. Now, about
CLion... it seems to run CMake by itself in a directory of it's choice.
You'll have a hard time with it.

load some resources my code doesn't break?

Easily - use relative paths in your code and make sure you set the right
working directory when running.
