Reading the whole history, it seems that on your master branch there
are no Makefiles. If you don't specify the generator with the -G option
to cmake, it uses "Unix Makefiles" as the default on Linux. So to me
it seems, that cmake does not generate them for whatever reason.

The following line which I found in Brendan's first mail proofs that:

Can you run the following in the build directory from the command line:

  cmake <your-source-dir> --trace-expand 2>&1 | gzip > cmake.log.gz

and provide the resulting cmake.log.gz file? In case cmake encounters
some problems and cannot write Makefiles it usually writes a few more
lines to the console that contain names of files with information.
Those might also be helpful.
