[Insight-users] Re: Getting started with ITK/CMake (a beginner's question)

Hong,

It seems that you are trying to reuse the binary directory that you use
for a previous build. This is not a good idea. You must use a new binary
directory every time that you build a new source tree.

CMake does this checking for preventing you from corrupting your binary
tree by accident.


   Regards,


      Luis
