Its messed up when printed to the console.

CMake is using the ANSI code page, but your console is using the OEM code 
page.
If you look at the two tables for your ANSI and OEM code pages, you'll see 
that
á on the ANSI code page is the same as ß on the OEM code page.
So, when CMake prints the á character, the console displays the ß character.

There is a chcp command you can use to change your console code page to your 
ANSI code page to fix the display.
