I trying to compile a library I developed in c++ with cmake. The problem is that I have many files with the same name in different directories. Is there a way to indicate cmake to put the generated binaries in the same structure as they are inside the project?. Can I indicate cmake to put this files in a specific place?, How do I do this?.

By default executables and libraries go to the build tree locations corresponding to the source directory that added them. Setting EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH and LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH at the top of the project will put all targets in the given directories.

I'm not sure what you mean by "many files with the same name". If it is many source files each in a differently-named executable then that will not be a problem. If you have an executable of the same name in every directory that is a problem. Due to the limitations of Visual Studio and Xcode generators there can be only one target with a given name. However the logical name of the target and the name on disk do not have to be the same. You can use SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES to set a target's OUTPUT_NAME property to change its name on disk.
