Hi,

I had a similar problem some years ago with CMake.
The solutions then was to add "add_dependencies" to the targets. From cmake.org
<quote>
 add_dependencies: Add a dependency between top-level targets.

  add_dependencies(target-name depend-target1
                   depend-target2 ...)

Make a top-level target depend on other top-level targets. A top-level target is one created by ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY, or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET. Adding dependencies with this command can be used to make sure one target is built before another target. See the DEPENDS option of ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET and ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND for adding file-level dependencies in custom rules. See the OBJECT_DEPENDS option in SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES to add file-level dependencies to object files.

I don't have a kicad build environment ready. If nobody gets to it first I can see if I can make some time. (It would be on Linux though, as my MBP is too slow).
