Ninja vs. make is not the problem here. According to the above,
cmake is called w/o -G to specify the generator and in that case
"Unix Makefiles" is the default. So using make is correct. But

  -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

shows that cmake encountered a problem and did not produce the
Makefiles which is the cause that make complains to find none.

Yes, I remember that :)

Exactly. Unfortunately, I don't see the actual cause of the
problem in the information you provided. Can you please share
(possibly as a tar.gz compressed archive) the following here
as attachment:

- your script(s)
- the full output of the run
- CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log
- CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log

Thanks in advance.
