[CMake] Re: [Insight-users] Qmake to CMake migration - IMAGES

[Clinton Stimpson]

As for directory structure, there nothing special when it comes to Qt.
If you are just beginning, perhaps you want the CMake book.  Or you can 
look at other projects that use CMake.
An out of source build is when generated/object 
files/libraries/executables are built into another directory and the 
source tree remains clean.
for example

MySourceTree/
  Source/

MyBuildTree/
  Source/

Run cmake in MyBuildTree and give it the source directory.  Or on 
windows, give it the build and source directories.
