The ``Ninja Multi-Config`` generator recognizes the following variables:
:variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES`
- Specifies the total set of configurations to build. See the variable's
- documentation for more information.
+ Specifies the total set of configurations to build.
:variable:`CMAKE_CROSS_CONFIGS`
Specifies a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of
configurations available from all ``build-<Config>.ninja`` files.
- This variable activates cross-config mode.
- Targets from each config specified in this variable can be built from any
- ``build-<Config>.ninja`` file. Custom commands will use the configuration
- native to ``build-<Config>.ninja``. If it is set to ``all``, all
- configurations from :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` are cross-configs.
- If it is not specified, or empty, each ``build-<Config>.ninja`` file will
- only contain build rules for its own configuration.
-
- The value of this variable must be a subset of
- :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES`.
:variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE`
- Specifies the configuration to use by default in a ``build.ninja`` file. 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`.
+ Specifies the configuration to use by default in a ``build.ninja`` file.
:variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_CONFIGS`
Specifies a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of
configurations to build for a target in ``build.ninja``
- if no ``:<Config>`` suffix is specified. If it is set to ``all``, all
- configurations from :variable:`CMAKE_CROSS_CONFIGS` are used. If
- it is not specified, it defaults to
- :variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE`.
-
- For example, if you set
- :variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE` to ``Release``, but
- set :variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_CONFIGS` to ``Debug`` or ``all``,
- all ``<target>`` aliases in ``build.ninja`` will resolve to
- ``<target>:Debug`` or ``<target>:all``, but custom commands will still use
- the ``Release`` configuration.
-
- The value of this variable must be a subset of
- :variable:`CMAKE_CROSS_CONFIGS` or be the same as
- :variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE`. It must not be
- specified if :variable:`CMAKE_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE` or
- :variable:`CMAKE_CROSS_CONFIGS` is not used.
+ if no ``:<Config>`` suffix is specified.
Consider the following example:
