"docker-compose build" is showing me help text when I specify a file

When I specify a compose file during build:

docker-compose build -f compose-production.yml

the images don't get built, and in stead I'm shown help-text:

$ docker-compose build -f compose-production.yml 
Build or rebuild services.

Services are built once and then tagged as `project_service`,
e.g. `composetest_db`. If you change a service's `Dockerfile` or the
contents of its build directory, you can run `docker-compose build` to rebuild it.

Usage: build [options] [SERVICE...]

Options:
    --force-rm  Always remove intermediate containers.
    --no-cache  Do not use cache when building the image.
    --pull      Always attempt to pull a newer version of the image.

Anyone knows what's going on?

Run with:

docker-compose -f compose-production.yml build

-f is option for docker-compose not option for command build
