There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks, good idea. Unfortunately this doesn't stop CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles from being created (and there doesn't seem to be a way of doing that).
Apparently there's also two built-in variables one can use to prevent in-source builds (undocumented but available since 2006). Maybe we should just use those instead?

Only check root dir and ask to delete cmake cache/files

It is always recommended (and a good practice) to compile in a build directory. But considering a celerity user could potentially not be familiarized with good programming/debugging practices, this check should save them some time of headache.
