At the time when CGAL-4.0.2 was release, the most recent CMake version was 
2.8.8. CMake  version 3.0 introduced several incompatibilities with older 
code, and I am not surprised that the very recent CMake-3.10.2 cannot 
configure the very old CGAL-4.0.2.

You should install CMake 2.8.7, and use it. That should solve the issue you 
have.

Note that for CMake versions 3.0 or later, Kitware has developed an important 
compatibility system, and that sort of decay of old CMake code should occur 
less and less with recent CMake/CGAL versions.
