If we are going to offer an upstream solution for this I think it should be done in a way that avoids ever creating any files (like CMakeCache.txt or CMakeFiles) in the first place. This could be achieved by looking for a `.cmake/init.json` file at the top of the source tree with declarative information about the project's preferences. One of those settings could reject in-source builds. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
