Have you tried making these different directories ? The error you are
seeing is telling you that you
are trying to build in an already configured/dirty source directory.
Not having a split source and
build is one easy way to get into the state that you are seeing.

See my above comment. By default the externalsrc class does a split
source and build directory,
which is why it works.
