CMake is a great program, once you get to grips with it, more examples for the documentation would make that much easier.
however http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
The in-source and out-of-source build are documented there, yet that documentation is going to lead a lot of users astray since it is not mentioned there that if a CMakeCache.txt file is in the source tree (say from a previous in-source build) the out-of-source build won't work. I hope that "feature" is scheduled for removal the next time (2.6?) the CMake developers are willing to accept a backwards incompatible change since so many stumble over that "feature" despite the FAQ (http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#I_run_an_out-of-source_build_but_CMake_generates_in-source_anyway._Why.3F) entry warning users about it.
