[CMake] build order

[Owen Hogarth II]

Hi David

Thank you for the response, I thought that I was doing something wrong. I
mean it's documented and I followed the docs as close as possible to write
my scripts but there's literally no mention about how to solve this
external/ internal project setup in the official docs.

I saw some things online but I honestly it seemed overly complicated and
really prone to breaking.

I'll edit my project to make them all external projects and work from that
angle.

Thanks
