[CMake] cmake source tree pollution ?

[Michael Ellery]

This kinda’ sounds like you are doing an in-source build. Are you certain that your currrent/working directory is different from your source tree root when you run cmake? The typical way of doing this is just to make a subdirectory of your source root:

   cd my_build
   cmake ..
   make
