The two things I notice with the above are (a) you use an absolute path to
point to your top-level source tree (which I think is OK, but I don't use
that), and (b) your path-to-source is out of order.  It should be the last
part of the command according to my experience and also the cmake man page.

I would suggest putting your -D options first, then the path to your source
tree (absolute or relative) to see whether that solves your issue.  I am
actually surprised the -D options were even recognized part of the time with
them being placed incorrectly after the path.
