The "extra" generators were created in CMake's early years to provide support for users of specific IDEs by directly generating their project files alongside make or ninja files. Nowadays the file-api provides a more generic, maintainable, well-tested, and robust way for IDEs to view CMake project build trees. Deprecate the legacy "extra" generators to encourage the corresponding IDEs to use the file-api. Fixes: #19090

|
|

|
a future version of CMake. IDEs may use the :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)`
|

Generates Kate project files.
|
|
|
|
A project file for Kate will be created in the top directory in the top level
|
|
build directory.
|
|
To use it in Kate, the Project plugin must be enabled.
|
|
The project file is loaded in Kate by opening the
|
|
``ProjectName.kateproject`` file in the editor.
|
|
If the Kate Build-plugin is enabled, all targets generated by CMake are
|
|
available for building.
|
|
|
|
This "extra" generator may be specified as:
|
|
|
|
``Kate - MinGW Makefiles``
|
|
Generate with :generator:`MinGW Makefiles`.
|
|
|
|
``Kate - NMake Makefiles``
|
|
Generate with :generator:`NMake Makefiles`.
|
|
|
|
``Kate - Ninja``
|
|
Generate with :generator:`Ninja`.
|
|
