My guess is that the variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not getting set in
your environment, somehow. Please add this line:
MESSAGE(STATUS "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}")
and see what output you get.

I can only run it as a command-line thing, not interactively.

No, its not correct. Consider the line
STRING(TOUPPER ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} buildtype)
If (as I surmise) CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is unset, you get the original error.
If you add a comma, the effect is to set the contents of the variable
"buildtype" to the string ",". No error, but not what you want!
I'm glad you are there and testing; it would be good to get this sorted.
I'm trying to get 7.9 out the door asap.
