| CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Specifies the configuration to use by default in a ``build.ninja`` file in the |
| :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator. If this variable is specified, |
| ``build.ninja`` uses build rules from ``build-<Config>.ninja`` by default. All |
| custom commands are executed with this configuration. If the variable is not |
| specified, the first item from :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` is used |
| instead. |
| |
| The value of this variable must be one of the items from |
| :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES`. |
