CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tool that can launch the native build system.
|
||
|
|
The value may be the full path to an executable or just the tool
|
||
|
|
name if it is expected to be in the ``PATH``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tool selected depends on the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` used
|
||
|
|
to configure the project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Makefile generators set this to ``make``, ``gmake``, or
|
||
|
|
a generator-specific tool (e.g. ``nmake`` for "NMake Makefiles").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These generators store ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
|
||
|
|
so that it may be edited by the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Ninja generator sets this to ``ninja``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This generator stores ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
|
||
|
|
so that it may be edited by the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Xcode generator sets this to ``xcodebuild`` (or possibly an
|
||
|
|
otherwise undocumented ``cmakexbuild`` wrapper implementing some
|
||
|
|
workarounds).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This generator stores ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
|
||
|
|
so that it may be edited by the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Visual Studio generators set this to the full path to
|
||
|
|
``MSBuild.exe`` (VS >= 10), ``devenv.com`` (VS 7,8,9),
|
||
|
|
``VCExpress.exe`` (VS Express 8,9), or ``msdev.exe`` (VS 6).
|
||
|
|
(See also variables
|
||
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_MSBUILD_COMMAND`,
|
||
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND`, and
|
||
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_MSDEV_COMMAND`.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These generators prefer to lookup the build tool at build time
|
||
|
|
rather than to store ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
|
||
|
|
ahead of time. This is because the tools are version-specific
|
||
|
|
and can be located using the Windows Registry. It is also
|
||
|
|
necessary because the proper build tool may depend on the
|
||
|
|
project content (e.g. the Intel Fortran plugin to VS 10 and 11
|
||
|
|
requires ``devenv.com`` to build its ``.vfproj`` project files
|
||
|
|
even though ``MSBuild.exe`` is normally preferred to support
|
||
|
|
the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For compatibility with versions of CMake prior to 3.0, if
|
||
|
|
a user or project explicitly adds ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` to
|
||
|
|
the CMake cache then CMake will use the specified value if
|
||
|
|
possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` variable is set for use by project code.
|
||
|
|
The value is also used by the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` and
|
||
|
|
:manual:`ctest(1)` ``--build-and-test`` tools to launch the native
|
||
|
|
build process.
