Can't make the project in a build dir

[Leo Arias]

cmake is instended to separate the source from the built files, but it's currently not possible to make the project in a builddir.

To reproduce:
mkdir builddir
cd builddir
cmake ..
make <- fails

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that seems to be fixed/works with current trunk, if you still have issue feel free to open a new bug but please include the actual error you are getting

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

The problem is that the make files are written on the root of the branch, not on the current dir.

elopio@tangamandapio76:~/workspace/canonical/dialer-app/trunk$ mkdir builddir
elopio@tangamandapio76:~/workspace/canonical/dialer-app/trunk$ cd builddir/
elopio@tangamandapio76:~/workspace/canonical/dialer-app/trunk/builddir$ cmake ..-- Could NOT find Lcov (missing: LCOV_EXECUTABLE GENHTML_EXECUTABLE)

Just tried with a fresh checkout of dialer-app, it is fixed:

boiko@thinkpad:/tmp/dialer-app$ mkdir build
boiko@thinkpad:/tmp/dialer-app$ cd build/
boiko@thinkpad:/tmp/dialer-app/build$ cmake ../
