Hi Don, The glx/gl finding issue is one I've seen from even before the cmake days when doing straight Makefile builds. I don't think the out of source will have any baring on this. My guess is the framework vs include/GL issues might be causing these. I've known exactly why though - I'm only an occasional OSX interloper so can't really help much on insider knowledge.
The config issue is a natural consequence to having build specific configuration files and out of source builds, it's a situation that is present on all platforms. If you wish to do out of source builds AND not install the built software then you have to add the include path to the out of source build config directories. Either doing in source build OR installing the software will fix this issue. Robert.
