If you can specify CMake version 2.8.11 as a minimum, you could use
the string(TIMESTAMP ...) command instead:
string(TIMESTAMP _output "%d/%m/%Y")
Bear in mind that these only execute when CMake runs (i.e. at configure time)
rather than at build time, so strictly-speaking you're not actually grabbing the
compile date.
Of course you could put that in a CMake script and execute it with e.g.
'${CMAKE_COMMAND} -p ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/get_date.cmake' in a
custom command :-). Then it would truly be the compile date. (Needless
to say, the script would need to write the date into some generated
source file, e.g. with configure_file.)
