Why is what you did above any better than ./configure; make; make install from lyxhome itself? I didn't even know the separate build directory could be done. Do you recommend the separate build directory for compiling all programs where you need to ./configure;make;make_install?
I would recommend building out of source tree any package. Package which do not support this are buggy IMO. In theory, you can set your source directory tree to read-only and still compile.
The advantage is that starting from scratch is trivial. This is even more important when compiling from a git check out, where you do not want old file to cause problems. In this case a "rm -rf *" (or the windows equivalent that I forgot (deltree?)), will start over cleanly.
