Building in a subdirectory with a name other than "build" isn't exactly a
"[route] strewn with rocks, rusty nails and broken glass". *That* should Just
Work (at least if the name is all ASCII printable characters and contains no
spaces); if it doesn't, that's a sign that the build process isn't robust
enough.
Building in the source directory *itself* is a bit more painful, but that
doesn't appear to be what we're talking about here; it sounds as if we're
talking about
mkdir build.wireshark
cd build.wireshark
cmake ..
make
