Hi Brandon,

I have been doing that for years, it keeps all the files for a project
within a single directory (identified with the project name).

Not only that, for some projects, I have both winbuild and linbuild within
the source directory so that I can compile Windows and Linux builds from the
same sources and a single CMakeLists.txt file. This is possible as the i:
drive is my home directory on Linux Samba server, mapped from windows! CMake
is *really* useful here as it ensures true cross-platform builds for such a
setup.

(Btw, any ideas how pushing a 'tool' button from DevStudio (after editing a
file) can start the Linux re-build as well ? ;))

Regards,
