Summary:                    Order of --build and --target "cmake" command
options matters
Description: 
The following results in an error as if I'd specified a subdirectory underneath
the current build directory. Changing the order of --build and --target options
works as expected, though. Just "--build ." followed directly by "--target"
gives this error.

cmake --config Release --build . --target apidoc
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/as12312/Software/BASIS/Xcode/apidoc"
does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.


cmake --config Release --target apidoc --build .
