The config file is generated by the cmake and is put into the build 
directory, not the source directory. This way you can have alternative 
builds which are customize to some extent by the contents of config.h.

The compiler include path has to also include the "build path" now, 
which is typically <something>/release or <something>/debug

Verify that your config.h file exists in your build directory. Then 
compile with

make clean
make VERBOSE=1

and verify that the -I option that you see being passed to g++ includes 
a path segment to your build directory which is where you have confirmed 
that the config.h file exists.
