Specifies the CMake default generator to use when no generator is supplied with :option:-G <cmake -G>. If the provided value doesn't name a generator known by CMake, the internal default is used. Either way the resulting generator selection is stored in the :variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR variable.

Some generators may be additionally configured using the environment variables:

• :envvar:CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
• :envvar:CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET
• :envvar:CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE
