No compilers used for this project (it's python) and I run from command 
line.

Anyway it might be a good idea also in general so I tried to do it and 
it doesn't find a path,
but the error is not quite clear, what path is it talking about (because 
all I see there exists)?


c:/temp $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" 
e:/git_projs/Minimum_Drag/xyz.application.minimum_drag
-- PSI found in e:/git_projs/PSI_Hamburg

e:/git_projs/Minimum_Drag/xyz.application.minimum_drag/../..

PS. And in general I think it's a bit confusing the fact that I need to 
remove manually the CMakeCache
from the source directory when I run out of tree..
Couldn't CMake just discard that path when building out of tree?

Thanks,
