I'm building a debian package, CDAT. The latest version 6.0.alpha uses CMAKE to build, rather than configure. The trouble is that CMake doesn't build. It doesn't even fail.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
()-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/amckinstry/deb-packages /cdat/cdat-6.0.alpha/build
$ make
$

The problem is, 'make' does nothing. A Makefile is generated by CMake, which calls cmake which calls make again on ./CMakeFiles/Makefile2 ... which does nothing useful. Apparently the CMake is supposed to put useful stuff in there, but doesn't. What puts stuff into Makefile2, and where should I pick up the bugs trail?
