Do give it a BINARY_DIR, but do NOT give it a BUILD_COMMAND. Giving it an empty BUILD_COMMAND means "do nothing" for the build step and using "cmake --build ./LibraryBuild" does not work unless cmake is in your PATH, and with a Visual Studio solution, you also need to specify "--config Release" or "--config Debug"
