CMake 3.14.0 released in March 2019 [1] added the command line config options
`-S <source-dir>` and `-B <build-dir>` and the build argument `--build <build-dir>` [2].
These options are universally valid independent of the build system used (`make`,
`nmake`, `ninja`, `MSBuild`,...), making the provided CMake commands more generic.
As reference Ubuntu 20.04 ships the CMake 3.16.3 [3] version.
