[CMake] Absolute output path

[jean-daniel.michaud at uk.bnpparibas.com]

Hi,

  I am trying to force cmake to output object files to an specific absolute
path.
  I have tried setting the project_name_BINARY_DIR, the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR
and CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR like:

  PROJECT (foo)
  SET(CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR "/home/jd/project/foo/build_output/")
  SET(CMAKE_BINARY_DIR "/home/jd/project/foo/build_output/")
  SET(foo_BINARY_DIR "/home/jd/project/foo/build_output/")

 but no luck, cmake still output the object files to it's own folder tree
like:
[  0%] Building CXX object
foo/source/CMakeFiles/Referential.dir/home/jd/project/foo/build_output/bar.o

 For reason specific to my project, I really need cmake to forget this
CMakeFiles/Referential.dir and output object where instruct him to do.
Hacking cmake source code is where I stand now, any way to do that with
some variable in the CMakeLists.txt file?

  Thanks and Regards,

Jean-Daniel
