 Sorry I did not put much context to explain why I reopened the discussion.
 I was updating the geos version from 3.5 to 3.6 in the orfeo toolbox
 superbuild which compiles geos using cmake.

 I was able to patch & fix the issue by just adding the cmake macro
 GenerateSourceGroups to the geos source tree:

 https://github.com/orfeotoolbox/OTB/blob/update_superbuild_6.2/SuperBuild/patches/GEOS/geos-1
 -fixes-all.diff

 geos 3.6.1 compiles with cmake without error now. Let me know if there is
 something I can contribute upstream to improve the support of cmake.

 Best,

 Manuel
