Hi Magnus. I am afraid that's not really possible (safely). CMake uses absolute paths all over the place (by design), so all output file paths etc. are hardcoded in the .sln and .vc[x]proj files to the paths applicable where they were generated. You can experiment with the variable CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS, but even its documentation warns that it's unreliable.
