Usually the "whatever.h" file is generated from a "whatever.h.in" or
"whatever.h.cmake"
which is processed by configure_file after the various checks were done.

May be you can post your CMakeLists.txt here if it's not too big?

What is your platform/compiler target?
Linux/gcc, Windows/Visual etc...
I bet the " -MT  -MD -MP" options are specific to the compiler use, did you
check the documentation of the compiler?

Are you compiling C or C++?
