Hmm, sort of. Both of your versions are considered outside of source tree. 
Inside source tree is when you directly compile in $KMMDIR.

It should not matter. I build the same way as Brendan for years and that 
should not be a problem.

In fact, it looks like some empty vars here to me. The double slash should not 
be a problem, but eseentialy tools now search in the root directory of the 
filesystem and that certainly is not correct.

Looking into the 4.8 branch stuff, I stumbled across the beginning of

  kmymoney/dialogs/settings/CMakeLists.txt

which looks odd and contains those weird names required that Gary is talking 
about. This does not look right to me.

That KMyMoney2_BINARY_DIR should certainly be replaced by something 
referencing CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
