Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
A *CMake Generator* is responsible for writing the input files for
|
|
a native build system. Exactly one of the `CMake Generators`_ must be
|
|
selected for a build tree to determine what native build system is to
|
|
be used. Optionally one of the `Extra Generators`_ may be selected
|
|
as a variant of some of the `Command-Line Build Tool Generators`_ to
|
|
produce project files for an auxiliary IDE.
|
|
|
|
CMake Generators are platform-specific so each may be available only
|
|
on certain platforms. The :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line tool ``--help``
|
|
output lists available generators on the current platform. Use its ``-G``
|
|
option to specify the generator for a new build tree.
|
|
The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` offers interactive selection of a generator
|
|
when creating a new build tree.

CMake Generators

|
================
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Build Tool Generators
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These generators support command-line build tools. In order to use them,
|
|
one must launch CMake from a command-line prompt whose environment is
|
|
already configured for the chosen compiler and build tool.
|
|
|
|

|
|

/generator/Borland Makefiles
|
|
/generator/MSYS Makefiles

/generator/MinGW Makefiles

|
IDE Build Tool Generators
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
These generators support Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
|
|
project files. Since the IDEs configure their own environment
|
|
one may launch CMake from any environment.
|
|

Extra Generators
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Some of the `CMake Generators`_ listed in the :manual:`cmake(1)`
|
|
command-line tool ``--help`` output may have variants that specify
|
|
an extra generator for an auxiliary IDE tool. Such generator
|
|
names have the form ``<extra-generator> - <main-generator>``.
|
|
The following extra generators are known to CMake.
