I want to tell CMake to output files and folders to a different folder instead of the current folder. I'm talking about the generated files by CMake below:
Is there a way to let CMake output these files and folders in another folder? I wrote a tool that executes CMake from the root of the project-directory, as a result my project-directory gets messed up with the generated files and folders listed above.
Here a link what I want: http://pastebin.com/cxykCi5M
Hope this will clarify more what I want.

You can use the undocumented command line options -B
and -H
to specify your build directory and source directory respectively. So, from your project's root, you can do:
cmake -Bbuild -H.
(Where build is your build directory path.)
