Tested on RaspberryPi and Ubuntu.

When ever I try to build a sample with the new cmake file in proj/cmake directory.  
I get the following error:

As far as I looked into it, cmake is looking for `cinderConfig.cmake` file at `CINDER_LIB_DIRECTORY` path, but the config file lies in `"/linux/Debug/ogl/"` for me.

Did I miss something ?  
Thanks for the help.

Looks like I was to fast on writing a post.  
I build cinder with the old `cibuild` script, which cmake didn’t like when building the samples.

After building cinder as @rich.e mentioned, it worked totally fine:

> To build cinder with cmake, you can either use the command line, or Jetbrains CLion5, which has been maturing quite a bit in the past few months. For command line, the process is similar to most other cmake projects you might have used, for example from the main cinder repo path

> mkdir build  
> cd build  
> cmake …  
> make -j4

Right, yea the old cibuild script is placing its lib output in a slightly different location as the new one, which has been modified to support future things like vulkan or other unforeseeable platform variants.
