You must either be in the source directory (not recommended), or you 
have to specify the path the source directory. For example:

    mkdir ~/miktex
    cd ~/miktex
    wget 
https://miktex.org/download/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/source/miktex-2.9-2016-10-30.tar.xz
    tar -xvJf miktex-2.9-2016-10-30.tar.xz
    mkdir ~/miktex/build
    cd ~/miktex/build
    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../miktex-2.9-2016-10-30

Your source directory is ~/miktex/miktex-2.9-2016-10-30 and your 
(out-of-source) build directory is ~/miktex/build.
