cmake build command produces empty output - windows

Question

initial conditions:
simple source file:
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
printf("Hello, World!\n")
return 0;
}
please pay the attention on missing ";" , that's for the testing.
also simple cmakelists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(test3 C)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
add_executable(test3 main.c)
the environment has been initialized so:
C:\dev\workspace\test3\cmake-build-debug>"C:\Program Files

if I build the project using nmake the output looks correct (with compiler errors):
C:\dev\workspace\test3\cmake-build-debug>nmake

however if I try to use cmake to build, it produces empty output:
C:\dev\workspace\test3\cmake-build-debug>cd ..
C:\dev\workspace\test3>C:\dev\tools\apps\CLion\ch-0\201.6487.17\bin\cmake\win\bin\cmake.exe
--build C:\dev\workspace\test3\cmake-build-debug --target test3
C:\dev\workspace\test3>
what can be wrong here?
