[CMake] No debugging symbols found when using -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

[Esch Nigma]

The standard choice is c++

    [eschnigma at manjaro ~]$ c++ --version c++ (GCC) 6.1.1 20160501 Copyright (C) 2016

But I've tried enforcing g++ as such:

-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=/usr/
bin/g++

And that has the same results.

Version:

    [eschnigma at manjaro ~]$ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 6.1.1 20160501 Copyright (C) 2016

This is definitely the reason for no debug symbols.  If the compiler is unknown then 
CMake won't know the right flags to pass to generate debug info.  The more important 
question though is why the compiler can't be identified.  What compiler is being used?  
Can check with /usr/bin/c++ --version ?
