Hi, @AYESDIE!

This can be done with 3 lines of code.
Please see here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-variables.7.html

CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

also synfig-core/src/modules/CMakeLists.txt modules must goes to lib/synfig/modules/

@ice0 Ah, rather than going for a per-target basis, updating those directory in the root CMakeLists.txt seems better. I'll work on the changes and push it soon.

Should I make changes on how ETL and include is built?

Yes. Also this will be much easier to support in the future.

I did not think about them. Therefore, I suggest just skipping them for now and back to them later.

Yes. Also this will be much easier to support in the future.

Agreed :)

I force pushed the new changes. I removed the ETL and include build part as of now.

@AYESDIE, also i want to ask, which OS you are using?

I am on Ubuntu 19.10.

Awesome!

Also forgot to mention, please change the path to ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/output/->lib/bin/etc

I was building on my end to make sure things were in correct places :))

Ok, also please check make install target, and you see why i add new comments :)

P.S. use cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_custom_install_dir

It worked the way it was before too, since I kept on checking it with make install on each commit, so I thought it was correct. But I realize I overcomplicated things abit.

Awesome work! This is exactly what I wanted!

Therefore, I propose to continue tomorrow.

P.S. I will merge your changes after all the checks have been completed.

Thank you for guiding :)

The next thing will be to refactor the build_images target, right? #1132 to be exact?

Yes. But i want to add one more simple issue for tomorrow.
We need to add /etc/modules.cfg and /share/synfig/*.glade files to do synfigstudio runnable. (#1225)

In this way, new students will be able to use IDEs such as CLion or NetBeans to build Synfig Studio and check they changes.

Ah, sounds good to me. I'll take a look at it tomorrow :)

Merged! Thank you!
