Now that we know the year component of this VS version we can add it to the generator name. For convenience, map the name without the year to the name with the year.

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.
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 1
|
|
|
|
/generator/Borland Makefiles
|
|
/generator/MSYS Makefiles
|
|
/generator/MinGW Makefiles
|
|
/generator/NMake Makefiles
|
|
/generator/NMake Makefiles JOM
|
|
/generator/Ninja
|
|
/generator/Unix Makefiles
|
|
/generator/Watcom WMake

|
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.
