Ryan,
   Here is an excerpt of the CMake output:
--
-- Configuring gr-soapy support...
--   Dependency SoapySDR_FOUND = 1
--   Dependency ENABLE_GNURADIO_RUNTIME = ON
--   Enabling gr-soapy support.
--   Override with -DENABLE_GR_SOAPY=ON/OFF
--   SOAPY Version: 0.7.2-unknown
-- No C++ unit tests... skipping
