Hello,  
I have a project that builds with CMake 3.27 on apple silicon, using GNU Make 3.81. Trying to use this setup to create a conda package, a different make is used resulting in build failure as a build-flag is interpreted as a target. How to find which make/version is being used by CMake?

Thank you,  
-Ayman

CMake records the found program in the `CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM` cache variable.
