Good.

There are multiple variants of Clang that behave like "gcc" or "cl".
Which one is this?  What installer did you use for Clang?

CMake should start out by printing the compiler id for the C and
CXX compilers.  What did it show?

Please try a minimum test project like

    >type CMakeLists.txt
    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
    project(Test)

in a fresh build tree and post the files

    CMakeFiles/CMake*.log
    CMakeFiles/*/CMake*Compiler.cmake

to see what CMake detected about the compiler.

Thanks,
