[CMake] how to hide cmake files?

[Andy Cedilnik]

(Looks like I forgot to CC CMake lists)

Hi Kutty,

You can put all CMakeLists.txt files to project directory and then refer 
to sources as:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(myexe
  "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../src1.c"
  "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../src2.c"
  ...
)

This way all CMakeLists.txt files are isolated from the source tree.
The other thing you may want to consider is to do out-of-source build. 
That way your buld tree will have bin lib and Make files, while sources 
and CMake list files will be in the source tree.
