Are you using a dedicated build directory or are you running cmake

adding to source control because none of the build products are
within
your source directories. Does this make sense?
As a developer, I nearly always keep source and build directories
separate. As a user however -- when I want to just download and
install
some particular software package -- I almost never go through the
trouble of building outside of the source tree. I suspect this is the
case for many developers/users. So saying that one approach over the
other is "bad" depends on your perspective.
Two cents.
Eric.
And you do this _because_ you are used to the ./configure, make, make
install of autotools. CMake is slightly different and should be
treated as such.
mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake ../
make
make install.
All this is asking is 2 extra commands.
