+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.sp
+A \fICMake Generator\fP is responsible for writing the input files for
+a native build system.  Exactly one of the \fI\%CMake Generators\fP must be
+selected for a build tree to determine what native build system is to
+be used.  Optionally one of the \fI\%Extra Generators\fP may be selected
+as a variant of some of the \fI\%Command\-Line Build Tool Generators\fP to
+produce project files for an auxiliary IDE.
+.sp
+CMake Generators are platform\-specific so each may be available only
+on certain platforms.  The \fBcmake(1)\fP command\-line tool \fB\-\-help\fP
+output lists available generators on the current platform.  Use its \fB\-G\fP
+option to specify the generator for a new build tree.
+The \fBcmake\-gui(1)\fP offers interactive selection of a generator
+when creating a new build tree.
+.SH CMAKE GENERATORS
+.SS Command\-Line Build Tool Generators
+.sp
+These generators support command\-line build tools.  In order to use them,
+one must launch CMake from a command\-line prompt whose environment is
+already configured for the chosen compiler and build tool.
+.SS Makefile Generators
+.SS Borland Makefiles
+.sp
+Generates Borland makefiles.
+.SS MSYS Makefiles
+.sp
+Generates makefiles for use with MSYS \fBmake\fP under the MSYS shell.
+.sp
+Use this generator in a MSYS shell prompt and using \fBmake\fP as the build
+tool.  The generated makefiles use \fB/bin/sh\fP as the shell to launch build
+rules.  They are not compatible with a Windows command prompt.
+.sp
+To build under a Windows command prompt, use the
+\fBMinGW Makefiles\fP generator.
+.SS MinGW Makefiles
+.sp
+Generates makefiles for use with \fBmingw32\-make\fP under a Windows command
+prompt.
+.sp
+Use this generator under a Windows command prompt with MinGW in the \fBPATH\fP
+and using \fBmingw32\-make\fP as the build tool.  The generated makefiles use
+\fBcmd.exe\fP as the shell to launch build rules.  They are not compatible with
+MSYS or a unix shell.
+.sp
+To build under the MSYS shell, use the \fBMSYS Makefiles\fP generator.
+.SS NMake Makefiles
+.sp
+Generates NMake makefiles.
+.SS NMake Makefiles JOM
+.sp
+Generates JOM makefiles.
+.SS Unix Makefiles
+.sp
+Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
+.sp
+A hierarchy of UNIX makefiles is generated into the build tree.  Any
+standard UNIX\-style make program can build the project through the
+default make target.  A "make install" target is also provided.
+.SS Watcom WMake
+.sp
+Generates Watcom WMake makefiles.
+.SS Ninja Generator
+.SS Ninja
+.sp
+Generates build.ninja files.
+.sp
+A build.ninja file is generated into the build tree.  Recent versions
+of the ninja program can build the project through the "all" target.
+An "install" target is also provided.

+project files.  Since the IDEs configure their own environment
+one may launch CMake from any environment.
