Dear Venedict, Yes, that ist possible. Basically the syntax for cmake-gui is:
cmake-gui [<options>] (<path-to-source> | <path-to-existing-build>) So you can either pass a source directory or a build directory where cmake was already run. If you pass the path to the source directory as parameter, then cmake uses the current directory as build directory. So you can set both by changing to the build directory on the shell and run cmake-gui with the source-directory as parameter from there. However, the manual does not describe this behavior, maybe it should be mentioned there. (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.13/manual/cmake-gui.1.html) Best regards, Matthias.
