Aside from the fact that formatting has nothing to do with building (or development for that matter) that sounds like either a CMake issue or an issue I described in another comment where a problem is identified, a solution is hypothesized, and an attempt is made to implement the solution, all without ever considering if either a: the problem identified is a problem or the right problem, b: the solution hypothesized is the only or best solution and c: if the implementation is implementing the solution or not.
