Today, I wanted to create a third build subdirectory so I could start
work on NSIS installer builds. However, when I run the cmake command
with the NMake Makefiles generator (the same generator used for the
other builds), it is insisting on writing the files to the root of the
source tree (the same directory containing the CMakeLists.txt file)
rather than in the current directory? I've tried all sorts of
combinations here, but can't seem to replicate my earlier success at
creating the debug and release subdirectories originally. What's
going on here?
Maybe you accidentally performed an in-source directory configuration at
some point (does your source directory contain CMakeCache.txt/CMakeFiles?).
CMake can be given a source directory or an existing build directory.
If it is given an existing build directory (which may happen to coincide
with the source directory in case you did perform an in-source directory
configuration) it will not create a new build directory.
Try cleaning up the source directory (remove at least
CMakeCache.txt/CMakeFiles) and try again.
