First, you should only run cmake about twice per year.  Otherwise run only make.

If MAINTAIN_PNGS is set true, you are telling CMake that you intend for *.cpp's
to depend on *.png's and *.png's to depend on *.svg's.  Nothing is broken and
this is the only way it can work.

You need to have the PNGs in such a situation.  Nothing to fix, nothing is broken.

But thereafter, simply run make, not cmake.
