Yah, absolutely. In the real world that is absolutely the way to go (and I suspect will be managed by your IDE in a lot of cases), but I wanted to show what it means for CMake to be a generator, and Makefiles are the easiest build system to show that with.
- gjvc 2y agoyes but nobody cares that it is, because those generated makefiles or ninja files are not user-serviceable, so it might be worth adding a remark to the article (which was very thorough I should emphasise, just that it was missing the reasoning here) also you might want to consider using make --directory build/ which of course leaves the user in the original place, and as such is a bit more ergonomic
