I'm consolidating my Xcode/TextMate setup and is interested in where you put your build dir.

Some years ago I started out having the build dir in the same dir as my xcodeproj file. However it became a mess when my project became a multi project with a applications and frameworks and tests, so I started using ../build as the build dir, so that all the sub projects used the same dir. However Spotlight is indexing this build dir and TextMate's global find is unusable when there is a build dir in the project.

I'm thinking either using ~/.build or /build as Xcode's build dir.

What build dir do you use and why?
