When dontUseCmakeBuildDir is true (aka the default), it overrides
cmakeDir regardless of the package configuration.
While packaging netbee, I needed to both keep dontUseCmakeBuildDir to
true (some hardcoded paths expect the build folder) and set cmakeDir
(since CMakeList.txt was in a subfolder) which proved impossible.
Here is the fix.
At one point in my configuration I had:
boot.kernel.sysctl = {
# https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13019/description-of-kernel-printk-values
"kernel.printk" = "4 4 1 7";
};
which triggered:
error: The unique option `boot.kernel.sysctl.kernel.printk' is defined multiple times, in `/home/teto/dotfiles/nixpkgs/mptcp-unstable.nix' and `/home/teto/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/system/boot/kernel.nix'.

Exception: unable to build all machine configurations
This simple addition allows to override it.
