title: Cmake Parse Error Expected a command name, got unquoted argument with text "//Path"
body: <p>I am trying to follow some old instructions on a past project for compiling and installing a Maya plugin and I have ran into an error on a Mac. The instruction says, in terminal, use the command <code>cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" "/CMakeLists.txt path"</code></p>
  
  <p>There are no errors in finding the source files but I do get the error: /CMakeLists.txt:17:
  Parse error.  Expected a command name, got unquoted argument with text "//Path".
  -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!</p>
  
  <p>Here is the first part of the CMakeList.txt: </p>
  
  <pre><code># This is the CMakeCache file.
  # The syntax for the file is as follows:
  # KEY:TYPE=VALUE
  # KEY is the name of a variable in the cache.
  # TYPE is a hint to GUI's for the type of VALUE, DO NOT EDIT TYPE!.
  # VALUE is the current value for the KEY.
  
  ########################
  # EXTERNAL cache entries
  ########################
  
  //Path to a program.
  CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/X11/ar
  
  //Choose the type of build, options are: None(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS or
  // CMAKE_C_FLAGS used) Debug Release RelWithDebInfo MinSizeRel.
  CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I delete line 17 (//Path to a program.) the error just moves to the next line and so on. I've tried searching for answers but I've come up with no luck. Anyone know how to fix this?</p>
