Yes. This way you can be sure to use the very same 'cmake' that you used
to configure/build the project and not the one found in te path.
In fact you can invoke cmake like that:
cd <yourbuilddir>
/absolute/path/to/my-cmake/cmake <path-source>
my-cmake may be:
- a git master CMake (i.e. not a release)
- a patched CMake because you are trying some enhancement not
yet published upstream
- an older cmake version 2.4.x because you have to keep your project
backward compatible
- a cmake version you installed on your account because you
do not have enough right on this particular host to upgrade
system-wide
etc.....
