CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE
----------------------
-Create verbose makefiles if on.
+Enable verbose output from Makefile builds.
-This variable defaults to false. You can set this variable to true to
-make CMake produce verbose makefiles that show each command line as it
-is used.
+This variable is a cache entry initialized (to FALSE) by
+the :command:`project` command. Users may enable the option
+in their local build tree to get more verbose output from
+Makefile builds and show each command line as it is launched.
