As mentioned in the 'prior-proir' message - the cmake message is
misleading.  The configure did complete - and print a nice summary of
what its doing. Configure however decided to use the legacy build -
instead of cmake buld - due to the cmake error.

Note - you were using legacy build for both debug and optimized
builds. If you see stuff like:

>>>>>>

<<<<<<

Then you are using the non-cmake legacy build. [which is the fallback
when cmake part of configure fails - for whatever reason]
