They will work on another system only if everything is in the same place (CMake, source tree, build tree, compiler, external libraries, etc.).  The idea of CMake is to let each developer use his or her favorite native tools for development.  Any communication of build system changes takes place through the CMakeLists.txt files which allows CMake to be the only common tool across machines.

If you set the following variable:
CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION  1
It will cause cmake to not put in the rules that re-run cmake.  If you then
have a machine with the same paths, it should move.
