Is there a way to use projectile to specify the compilation directory with a cmake project?

Using the projectile package with emacs in a cmake project, I have a .projectile file in the project root. When I type C-c C-p c, it wants to run "cmake --build ." in the root directory. I'd like it to go to {project root}/build and run cmake. I have tried a .dir-local.el with:

( ( nil . ( (projectile-compilation-dir . "./build"))))

specified - no luck. Any hints? My google searches aren't turning up anything useful.

Solution

  • So - I made a mistake - .dir-locals.el, then it worked. Sorry everyone - hope this helps someone else....
