I have cmake 2.8.2. and a project with directory like this: In the repository, I have bin directory to store built binary files. I can generate visual studio solution files in bin folder without any problem with cmake-gui. But I’d like to generate solution file using the command line version of cmake.

I tried cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .. in bin directory, but solution file is generated in the repository directory.

    lets say you have 

    Repository/CMakeLists.txt
Repository/srcs...

    and you create a bin directory in Repository:

    cd Repository
mkdir bin
cd bin

    then you can do what you want:

    cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" ..

    and it will work.
