<div dir="ltr">I've got an External_Project_Add in my superbuild that adds a CMake-built library to the build. It attempts to use the CMAKE_COMPILER variable in order to define CMAKE_C_COMPILER for this library's build. <div>

</div><div style>To that end, I need an authoritative definition of CMAKE_COMPILER, i.e. I have been searching for a web page where CMAKE_COMPILER is described. Apart from googling I have also just manually reviewed</div>
