Reasons for making this change

The default build directory for CMake based projects opened from CLion without CMakePresets.json or already configured CMake project build directory will default to:

  • cmake-build-debug
  • cmake-build-release
  • cmake-build-relwithdebinfo
  • cmake-build-minsizerel
  • cmake-build-default (when adding more than 4 profiles of different build types already exists)

This defers from the regular build directory that is conventionally used for CMake configuration output directory.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/quick-cmake-tutorial.html#cmake-buildtypes

Notice the Build directory field that specifies the location of build results. The default folders are cmake-build-debug for Debug profiles and cmake-build-release for Release profiles. You can always set other locations of your choice.
