CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
------------------
Tool that can launch the native build system.
The value may be the full path to an executable or just the tool
name if it is expected to be in the ``PATH``.
The tool selected depends on the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` used
to configure the project:
* The Makefile generators set this to ``make``, ``gmake``, or
a generator-specific tool (e.g. ``nmake`` for "NMake Makefiles").
These generators store ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
so that it may be edited by the user.
* The Ninja generator sets this to ``ninja``.
This generator stores ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
so that it may be edited by the user.
* The Xcode generator sets this to ``xcodebuild`` (or possibly an
otherwise undocumented ``cmakexbuild`` wrapper implementing some
workarounds).
This generator stores ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` in the CMake cache
so that it may be edited by the user.
* The Visual Studio generators set this to the full path to
``MSBuild.exe`` (VS >= 10), ``devenv.com`` (VS 7,8,9),
``VCExpress.exe`` (VS Express 8,9), or ``msdev.exe`` (VS 6).
(See also variables
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_MSBUILD_COMMAND`,
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_DEVENV_COMMAND`, and
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_MSDEV_COMMAND`.)
These generators prefer to lookup the build tool at build time
rather than to store ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` 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 ``devenv.com`` to build its ``.vfproj`` project files
even though ``MSBuild.exe`` is normally preferred to support
the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`).
For compatibility with versions of CMake prior to 3.0, if
a user or project explicitly adds ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` to
the CMake cache then CMake will use the specified value if
possible.
The ``CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`` variable is set for use by project code.
The value is also used by the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` and
:manual:`ctest(1)` ``--build-and-test`` tools to launch the native
build process.
