[Cmake] Can source be elsewhere?

[John Fletcher]

Hi

I am new to CMake and trying out some ideas.

I have a lot of existing source files.  I had the idea of setting up 
projects for CMake in new directories and pulling in source files 
from elsewhere.

e.g. 

PROJECT(SOMETHING)
SET(SOMETHING_SRCS something.cpp another.cpp)
SOURCE_DIRECTORIES(/some/path/source)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/some/path/include)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(something ${SOMETHING_SRCS} )


I can do all of this except the source directories.  Am I missing 
something? I end up copying the sources into the project directory.

Thanks

John
