[CMake] an easy way to clean cmake generated files?

[Mike Jackson]

Read this link:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial

I suggest you use the following project layout:

MyProject
  |--Build  <-- This is where the build will take place.


 From a terminal, cd into MyProject/Build
then "cmake ../"
then go back to eclipse and "Refresh" your workspace.
Build your project from within Eclipse. Your binaries and all  
debugging should work just fine.
  When you really need to "clean" everything, then just delete  
everything inside MyProject/Build and rerun cmake.

The link above has more details.
