[CMake] How to generate for Ninja + MSVC?

[CHEVRIER, Marc]

Alternate solution is to define following environment variables:
* CC=cl.exe
* CXX=cl.exe

In this case, CMake will search these compilers rather than the standard choices (starting with c++ and g++ for C++ language).

And you don’t have any longer constraints about your environment.
