Rudi Heitbaum 8ceacbac6b build: define CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS as an environment variable not a define. ...

When building utfcpp (and other packages) a CMake warning is issued.

    CMake Warning:
      Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

        CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS

Before this change the following files are present:

    $ cd build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-devel/build

    $ find utfcpp-4.0.6 -name build.ninja
    utfcpp-4.0.6/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/build.ninja
    $ find utfcpp-4.0.6 -name compile_commands.json

    $ find soxr-0.1.3 -name build.ninja
    soxr-0.1.3/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/build.ninja
    $ find soxr-0.1.3 -name compile_commands.json
    soxr-0.1.3/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/compile_commands.json

When removing the define CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:

--- a/scripts/build

+CMAKE_GENERATOR_NINJA="-GNinja"

 # configure TARGET build defaults
 TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--host=${TARGET_NAME} \

The resulting build do not have the warning with utfcpp but the files
compile_commands.json are not created (as expected.)

    $ find utfcpp-4.0.6 -name build.ninja
    utfcpp-4.0.6/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/build.ninja
    $ find utfcpp-4.0.6 -name compile_commands.json

    $ find soxr-0.1.3 -name build.ninja
    soxr-0.1.3/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/build.ninja
    $ find soxr-0.1.3 -name compile_commands.json

With the change to declare CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS as an environment
variable the warning is not preset with utfcpp and the compile_commands.json
are created, matching the current functionaility but without the warning.
