I'm working on converting a project from autotools to cmake and it has pre-generated source files so you have to generate them which is useful for cross-compilation if you don't want to import native targets for the generation. Since I don't want to write to the source directory *at all* because it's an active svn working directory, I use the build directory. Richard
