Description sven.fischer 2020-10-08 13:13:26 UTC 
If the CMAKE_GENERATOR environment variable is set to e.g. Ninja, CMake based build will fail because CMake generates Ninja build files instead of Makefiles. 

To fix this use either

a) explicitly set -G"Unix Makefiles" in package/pkg-cmake.mk
b) (better) use "cmake --build ." instead of make

Sounds good. Could you send a patch implementing (2) ? Thanks!
