    Description

      When building Shiboken 2 as standalone build on macOS, he setup script executes prepare_standalone_clang from main.py. As part of this function, CMake is invoked to retrieve the path to libclang by executing:

      log.info('Finding path to the libclang shared library.')
cmake_cmd = [
     OPTION["CMAKE"],
     "-L",         # Lists variables
     "-N",         # Just inspects the cache (faster)
     "--build",    # Specifies the build dir
     self.shiboken_build_dir
 ]
 out = run_process_output(cmake_cmd)

      However, using --build in this fashion results in an error message from CMake:

      CMake Error: Unknown argument --build
CMake Error: Run 'cmake --help' for all supported options.

      Apparently, the correct flag to use is -B instead of --build.
