I like to do my make inside of emacs, that way when there is a compile error message I can click on it from emacs and it takes me right to the offending line.

</div>Thats not really needed with cmake, because cmake allows to do real<br>
out-of-source builds without having to set tons of output dirs<br>
individually. Just create a build dir somewhere, go into it and run<br>
<br>
cmake <sourcedir><br>
