CMAKE_GENERATOR --------------- .. include:: ENV_VAR.txt Specifies the CMake default generator to use when no generator is supplied with ``-G``. If the provided value doesn't name a generator known by CMake, the internal default is used. Either way the resulting generator selection is stored in the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` variable. Some generators may be additionally configured using the environment variables: * :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` * :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` * :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE`
