"cmake --build" does work, though.

We are not going to duplicate "cmake --build" functionality via cmake -E...

Use the existing "cmake --build" not "cmake -E build"

If the functionality is not added, the documentation should be removed.

Patch attached.

Wow. I did not realize "cmake -E" actually documented it and that's why you were trying it... That should never have been in there, even though it's actually been in there for quite some time now.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for providing the "remove the documentation" patch.
