[CMake] Parse Error while processing CMakeCache

[William A. Hoffman]

The format for -C files is a cmake file and not a cache file.  So you need
to change it to a bunch of SET(...) commands.  Alternatively, you can just create
a file called CMakeCache.txt in the binary directory before you run cmake.
