Usually you build the whole application "out-of-source", i.e. you create a empty directory somewhere and simply run: cmake <path-of-source-dir> in it. Then all your output files, .o, generated files, Makefile's and also libs/executables will be in the newly created directory. This so-called builddir has the same structure as your sourcedir (almost at least, every subdir that has a CMakeLists.txt exists also in the builddir) and the binaries/libs are in the subdir where you specified them. As Alexander already said, you can easily make sure all these are in the same subdir inside your buildtree, by using LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH.
