This reverts commit f85db2f323.
Discussion by the QtCreator community at
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-13695
raises concerns about this particular approach to working with CMake
projects using QtCreator. Also, the functionality and design of the QBS
extra generator was never discussed on the CMake mailing list or with
QtCreator developers. There may be better ways to make the two tools
work together.
In order to avoid committing to long-term support of this generator
prior to such discussion taking place, revert it from CMake for now.
We may restore this or use an alternative design based on results of
such discussion.

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.

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.
