CodeBlocks
----------

.. deprecated:: 3.27

  Support for :ref:`Extra Generators` is deprecated and will be removed from
  a future version of CMake.  IDEs may use the :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)`
  to view CMake-generated project build trees.

Generates CodeBlocks project files.

Project files for CodeBlocks will be created in the top directory and
in every subdirectory which features a ``CMakeLists.txt`` file containing
a :command:`project` call.  Additionally a hierarchy of makefiles is generated
into the build tree.
The appropriate make program can build the
project through the default ``all`` target.  An ``install`` target is
also provided.

.. versionadded:: 3.10
 The :variable:`CMAKE_CODEBLOCKS_EXCLUDE_EXTERNAL_FILES` variable may
 be set to ``ON`` to exclude any files which are located outside of
 the project root directory.
