Hi everyone,

Hi,

I'm new to cmake, and there's something simple I don't know how to do.
Here what I wrote in CMakeLists.txt so far:

project(test)
subdirs(src)

and in src directory I have another CMakeLists.txt :

add_executable(testApp Applications/testApp.cpp)

and what I want is that the compilation result of testApp.cpp goes into the
./bin directory, but by default it goes into ./src
I use ccmake to set it to go to the bin directory, but when I run the
compilation the makefile create a src/bin and use it.

How to set cmake so it write the binary in ./bin ?

I've never used it but I guess you just have to set the variable
`EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH' in the CMakeLists.txt at the top of your
hierarchy so that all sub-CMakeLists.txt will inherit this variable.

SET(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin)

A full documentation of this variable (and of many others) is available here:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables

Also, in src I have a lot of temporary files (cmake_install.cmake,
CMakeFiles, ...), how can I avoid having this in my subdirectories ? Should
I write one only CMakeLists.txt in the root directory ?

I guess nop. as CMake needs these files. It's not that much anoying as
it's not in your source tree, in few days you won't ever see them ;)
