How to configure CMake to use a specific generator by default?
You can set the default generator in CMake by defining the environment variable CMAKE_GENERATOR

file:

export CMAKE_GENERATOR="Unix Makefiles"
|
Replace "Unix Makefiles"
with the name of the generator you want to use by default (e.g. "Ninja"
, "Visual Studio 16 2019"
, etc).
After adding this line, any new terminal session you open will automatically use the specified generator as the default when running CMake.
