I’ve just added a check at the beginning of CMakeLists.txt which makes sure the
user is building in a directory other than the root of the source tree. This
should avoid the problems we’ve discussed with Visual Studio/XCode
projects/Makefiles etc. being put in inconvenient places.
If you now try this in the repository root:
cmake -G “Unix Makefiles” .
You’ll see the following message:
Building in the source directory is not supported. Instead, you should
create another directory specifically for the build. For example:
mkdir ~/build/corinthia
cd ~/build/corinthia
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" /Users/peter/dev/corinthia
Before this will work, you should delete CMakeCache.txt and
the CMakeFiles directory that were just generated in the source
directory.
(In the above message, the cmake command given uses the generator and source
directory given by the user, so you’ll likely see a slight difference when you
run it yourself)
