[CMake] ExternalPackage_Add with Non-CMake project that runs differently then equivalent shell script

[Chad Balen]

Hi David,

My output is:

CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL='/usr/bin/gmake'

I was originally using

cd path/to/build/directory && make #For some reason it doesn't recognize
the make command if I leave out the path to the build directory

but if you saw in the previous posts, Norman suggested to use
${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} when cleaning up my script.
