build_command
-------------
build_command: Return a "cmake --build" command-line Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command will internally invoke the proper native build tool. This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.

Get a command line to build the current project.
This is mainly intended for internal use by the :module:`CTest` module.

where ``<cmake>`` is the location of the :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line
tool, and ``<config>`` and ``<target>`` are the values provided to the
``CONFIGURATION`` and ``TARGET`` options, if any. The trailing ``-- -i``
option is added for Makefile generators.

This second signature is deprecated, but still available for backwards
compatibility. Use the first signature instead.

It sets the given ``<cachevariable>`` to a command-line string as
above but without the ``--config`` or ``--target`` options.
The ``<makecommand>`` is ignored but should be the full path to
msdev, devenv, nmake, make or one of the end user build tools
for legacy invocations.
.. note::
In CMake versions prior to 3.0 this command returned a command
line that directly invokes the native build tool for the current
generator. Their implementation of the ``PROJECT_NAME`` option
had no useful effects, so CMake now warns on use of the option.
