CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL
----------------
-Tool used for the actual build process.
-
-This variable is set to the program that will be needed to build the
-output of CMake. If the generator selected was Visual Studio 6, the
-CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL will be set to msdev, for Unix Makefiles it will be
-set to make or gmake, and for Visual Studio 7 it set to devenv. For
-NMake Makefiles the value is nmake. This can be useful for adding
-special flags and commands based on the final build environment.
+This variable exists only for backwards compatibility.
+It contains the same value as :variable:`CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`.
+Use that variable instead.
