The natural way when  using "make" is to place  the output into the same
directory as the input.   The easiest way  is to just  leave it that way
and to instruct the users to issue the command

   $ make -C doc doc
   $

If you hate the idea of modifying  the source directory tree in any way,
"cmake" should be told  to copy changed files  from the "doc/" directory
into directory "../build_QMapShack/doc/"  using something similar to the
"-pru" options of the "cp" command.   Then we could advise  the users to
just run

   $ cd build_QMapShack
   $ make -C doc doc
   $

I respect your decision to base QMapShack on "cmake".  But I also expect
you to respect  my decision not to dig into  the art of maintaining pro-
jects using "cmake".   Statements like the one above (you "asked for it"
but I "REFUSED to add" it  (capitalization by me),  and so it's my fault
that you "abandoned the idea") is nothing I'd like to read here again.

To clarify:  I wanted offline  QMapShack documentation,  cloned the wiki
repository, found John Gruber's original Perl script from 2004 not to be
up to the task of converting more modern Markdown dialects, wrote my own
scripts and shared them with you, in case someone else might have simil-
ar needs.   I'm perfectly comfortable  with the current situation, and I
never understood my contributions  as signing a contract to integrate my
scripts into "cmake"!

Sincerely,
  Rainer
