[CMake] complication issue

[Raymond Wan]

Hi Ali,

Please keep replies (to me, at least) to the CMake mailing list, as
well.  I'm not too knowledgeable with CMake and it's always useful for
all parties to have a discussion public so that others can jump in and
contribute something.

Quite frankly, your sentence below doesn't make sense to me.  I mean,
Makefiles and CMakeLists.txt are just text files.  If two Makefiles
are "running the exact commands", then they will behave exactly the
same.  The question is are the Makefiles *identical* and if not, then
you need to work backwards to where in the CMakeLists.txt has that
change been introduced.
