Generating Clion project needs to generate cmake files, which errors for me. Might want to document what this error means and how to fix it for most of the cases.

It seems that the issue occurs when no files exist in that "src" path, might want to add an error message detailing that?

In my fork (https://github.com/Jarod42/premake-cmake), I have just handled that case. no errors for CMake generation. Issue is reported when running cmake as no files to generate app.
