CMAKE_GENERATOR

This is a CMake Environment Variable. Its initial value is taken from the calling process environment.

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 CMAKE_GENERATOR variable.

Some generators may be additionally configured using the environment variables:

• CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
• CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET
• CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE
