[unresolved] Where is the cegui src?

[Aspirer]

[EDIT] As it turns out the main documentation does not tell you where to find these important bits of information. I did find them on the wiki however for anyone who needs help with this in the future:

[OLD]
I've DLed the newest CEGUI version, 0.8.2 and the cmake gui utility. I'm following this: http://www.cegui.org.uk/docs/current/index.html

except it tells me to point the cmake gui utility at the source and build folders, yet I don't know where those are! I know I'm missing something, and perhaps I'm just too new to this to know what I'm doing. I tried pointing cmake in a few places but that did not work.

I have DLed both the CEGUI deps and the other zipped folder I have DLed was named "cegui-0.8.2". I've extracted and placed the files into the place I want them and also placed the deps within the cegui folder.

I just need to know where to point cmake to for the source, and where to point it to for the build!

Any help would be much appreciated and if you need further info please ask!

The CMake source directory is where the top level CMakeLists.txt appears in the source code file hierarchy.

The CMake build directory is typically something you will create, outside of the source code file hierarchy. For instance on my system I have /home/bvanevery/devel/cegui as my source directory. (I'm pulling from the Mercurial repository.) I tell CMake to build it in /home/bvanevery/devel/build/cegui. CMake dutifully creates the directory. If I have a problem with my build, I delete the /build/cegui directory and do it over again from scratch.

This is basic CMake stuff, although I totally understand if you're not familiar with that drill yet. You will encounter this drill on every open source CMake project you run into.
