| <p>These generators store <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> in the CMake cache |
| so that it may be edited by the user.</p> |
| </li> |

| <p>This generator stores <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> in the CMake cache |
| so that it may be edited by the user.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>The <span class="target" id="index-0-generator:Xcode"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../generator/Xcode.html#generator:Xcode" title="Xcode"><code class="xref cmake cmake-generator docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Xcode</span></code></a> generator sets this to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xcodebuild</span></code>.</p> |
| <p>This generator prefers to lookup the build tool at build time |
| rather than to store <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> in the CMake cache |
| ahead of time. This is because <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xcodebuild</span></code> is easy to find.</p> |
| <p>For compatibility with versions of CMake prior to 3.2, if |
| a user or project explicitly adds <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> to |
| the CMake cache then CMake will use the specified value.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-generators.7.html#visual-studio-generators"><span class="std std-ref">Visual Studio Generators</span></a> set this to the full path to |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MSBuild.exe</span></code> (VS >= 10), <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">devenv.com</span></code> (VS 7,8,9), or |

| <p>These generators prefer to lookup the build tool at build time |
| rather than to store <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> in the CMake cache |
| ahead of time. This is because the tools are version-specific |
| and can be located using the Windows Registry. It is also |
| necessary because the proper build tool may depend on the |
| project content (e.g. the Intel Fortran plugin to VS 10 and 11 |
| requires <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">devenv.com</span></code> to build its <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.vfproj</span></code> project files |
| even though <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MSBuild.exe</span></code> is normally preferred to support |
| the <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET"></span><a class="reference internal" href="CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.html#variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET" title="CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET</span></code></a>).</p> |
| <p>For compatibility with versions of CMake prior to 3.0, if |
| a user or project explicitly adds <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> to |
| the CMake cache then CMake will use the specified value if |
| possible.</p> |

| path to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gbuild.exe(Windows)</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gbuild(Linux)</span></code> based upon |
| the toolset being used.</p> |
| <p>Once the generator has initialized a particular value for this |
| variable, changing the value has undefined behavior.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM</span></code> variable is set for use by project code. |
