CMAKE_GENERATOR
---------------
.. versionadded:: 3.15
.. include:: include/ENV_VAR.rst
Specifies the CMake default generator to use when no generator is supplied
with :option:`-G <cmake -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`
