Description

CMAKE-PRESETS(7)                     CMake                    CMAKE-PRESETS(7)



NAME
       cmake-presets - CMakePresets.json

INTRODUCTION
       One  problem that CMake users often face is sharing settings with other
       people for common ways to configure a project. This may be done to sup-
       port  CI  builds, or for users who frequently use the same build. CMake
       supports two files, CMakePresets.json and  CMakeUserPresets.json,  that
       allow  users  to  specify  common configure options and share them with
       others.

       CMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json live in the project's  root
       directory.  They  both  have  exactly  the  same  format,  and both are
       optional (though at least one must be present  if  --preset  is  speci-
       fied.)   CMakePresets.json  is meant to save project-wide builds, while
       CMakeUserPresets.json is meant for developers to save their  own  local
       builds. CMakePresets.json may be checked into a version control system,
       and CMakeUserPresets.json should NOT be checked in. For example,  if  a
       project is using Git, CMakePresets.json may be tracked, and CMakeUserP-
       resets.json should be added to the .gitignore.

FORMAT
       The files are a JSON document with an object as the root:

          {
            "version": 3,
            "cmakeMinimumRequired": {

                }
              }
            ],
            "buildPresets": [

                "name": "default",
                "configurePreset": "default"
              }
            ],
            "testPresets": [
              {
                "name": "default",
                "configurePreset": "default",
                "output": {"outputOnFailure": true},
                "execution": {"noTestsAction": "error", "stopOnFailure": true}
              }
            ],
            "vendor": {
              "example.com/ExampleIDE/1.0": {
                "autoFormat": false
              }
            }
          }


       The root object recognizes the following fields:

       version
          A required integer representing the version of the JSON schema.  The
          supported versions are 1, 2, and 3.

       cmakeMinimumRequired
          An  optional object representing the minimum version of CMake needed
          to build this project. This object consists of the following fields:

          major
              An optional integer representing the major version.

          minor
              An optional integer representing the minor version.

          patch
              An optional integer representing the patch version.

       vendor
          An optional map containing vendor-specific information.  CMake  does
          not interpret the contents of this field except to verify that it is
          a map if it does exist. However, the keys should  be  a  vendor-spe-
          cific  domain  name followed by a /-separated path. For example, the
          Example IDE 1.0 could use example.com/ExampleIDE/1.0. The  value  of
          each  field can be anything desired by the vendor, though will typi-
          cally be a map.

       configurePresets
          An optional array of Configure Preset objects.  This is  allowed  in
          preset files specifying version 1 or above.

       buildPresets
          An  optional array of Build Preset objects.  This is allowed in pre-
          set files specifying version 2 or above.

       testPresets
          An optional array of Test Preset objects.  This is allowed in preset
          files specifying version 2 or above.

   Configure Preset
       Each entry of the configurePresets array is a JSON object that may con-
       tain the following fields:

       name
          A required string representing the machine-friendly name of the pre-
          set.   This  identifier is used in the cmake --preset option.  There
          must not be two configure presets in the union of  CMakePresets.json
          and  CMakeUserPresets.json in the same directory with the same name.
          However, a configure preset may have the same name  as  a  build  or
          test preset.

       hidden
          An  optional  boolean  specifying  whether or not a preset should be
          hidden.  If a preset is hidden, it cannot be used in  the  --preset=
          argument,  will  not  show up in the CMake GUI, and does not have to
          have a valid generator or binaryDir, even from  inheritance.  hidden
          presets  are  intended  to  be  used  as a base for other presets to
          inherit via the inherits field.

       inherits
          An optional array of strings representing the names  of  presets  to
          inherit  from.  The  preset  will inherit all of the fields from the
          inherits presets by default (except name, hidden, inherits, descrip-
          tion,  and displayName), but can override them as desired. If multi-
          ple inherits presets provide conflicting values for the same  field,
          the  earlier  preset in the inherits list will be preferred. Presets
          in CMakePresets.json may not inherit from presets  in  CMakeUserPre-
          sets.json.

          This  field  can  also  be a string, which is equivalent to an array
          containing one string.

       condition
          An optional Condition object. This is allowed in preset files speci-
          fying version 3 or above.

       vendor
          An  optional  map containing vendor-specific information. CMake does
          not interpret the contents of this field except to verify that it is
          a  map  if it does exist. However, it should follow the same conven-
          tions as the root-level vendor  field.  If  vendors  use  their  own
          per-preset vendor field, they should implement inheritance in a sen-
          sible manner when appropriate.

       displayName
          An optional string with a human-friendly name of the preset.

       description
          An optional string with a human-friendly description of the preset.

       generator
          An optional string representing the generator to use for the preset.
          If  generator is not specified, it must be inherited from the inher-
          its preset (unless this preset is hidden). In version  3  or  above,
          this  field may be omitted to fall back to regular generator discov-
          ery procedure.

          Note that for Visual Studio generators, unlike in the  command  line
          -G  argument,  you cannot include the platform name in the generator
          name. Use the architecture field instead.

       architecture, toolset
          Optional fields representing the platform and toolset, respectively,
          for  generators that support them. Each may be either a string or an
          object with the following fields:

          value
              An optional string representing the value.

          strategy
              An optional string telling CMake how to handle the  architecture
              or toolset field. Valid values are:

              "set"
                 Set  the  respective  value. This will result in an error for
                 generators that do not support the respective field.

              "external"
                 Do not set the value, even if the generator supports it. This
                 is useful if, for example, a preset uses the Ninja generator,
                 and an IDE knows how to set up  the  Visual  C++  environment
                 from the architecture and toolset fields. In that case, CMake
                 will ignore the field, but the IDE can use them to set up the
                 environment before invoking CMake.

       toolchainFile
          An  optional  string  representing  the  path to the toolchain file.
          This field supports macro expansion. If a relative  path  is  speci-
          fied,  it  is calculated relative to the build directory, and if not
          found, relative to the source directory. Takes precedence  over  any
          CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE value. This is allowed in preset files specify-
          ing version 3 or above.

       binaryDir
          An optional string representing the path to the output binary direc-
          tory.   This  field  supports macro expansion. If a relative path is
          specified, it is calculated relative to  the  source  directory.  If
          binaryDir  is  not specified, it must be inherited from the inherits
          preset (unless this preset is hidden). In version 3 or  above,  this
          field may be omitted.

       installDir
          An  optional string representing the path to the installation direc-
          tory.  This field supports macro expansion. If a  relative  path  is
          specified,  it  is calculated relative to the source directory. This
          is allowed in preset files specifying version 3 or above.

       cmakeExecutable
          An optional string representing the path to the CMake executable  to
          use  for  this  preset. This is reserved for use by IDEs, and is not
          used by CMake itself. IDEs that use this  field  should  expand  any
          macros in it.

       cacheVariables
          An  optional  map  of  cache variables. The key is the variable name
          (which may not be an empty string), and the value is either null,  a
          boolean  (which  is equivalent to a value of "TRUE" or "FALSE" and a
          type of BOOL), a string  representing  the  value  of  the  variable
          (which  supports  macro  expansion), or an object with the following
          fields:

          type
              An optional string representing the type of the variable.

          value
              A required string or boolean representing the value of the vari-
              able.   A boolean is equivalent to "TRUE" or "FALSE". This field
              supports macro expansion.

          Cache variables are inherited through the inherits  field,  and  the
          preset's  variables  will be the union of its own cacheVariables and
          the cacheVariables from all its parents. If multiple presets in this
          union  define  the same variable, the standard rules of inherits are
          applied. Setting a variable to null causes it to not be set, even if
          a value was inherited from another preset.

       environment
          An  optional  map  of environment variables. The key is the variable
          name (which may not be an empty string), and  the  value  is  either
          null  or a string representing the value of the variable. Each vari-
          able is set regardless of whether or not a value was given to it  by
          the  process's environment. This field supports macro expansion, and
          environment variables in this map may reference each other, and  may
          be  listed  in  any order, as long as such references do not cause a
          cycle (for example, if  ENV_1  is  $env{ENV_2},  ENV_2  may  not  be
          $env{ENV_1}.)

          Environment  variables are inherited through the inherits field, and
          the preset's environment will be the union of  its  own  environment
          and  the  environment  from  all its parents. If multiple presets in
          this union define the same variable, the standard rules of  inherits
          are  applied.  Setting  a  variable to null causes it to not be set,
          even if a value was inherited from another preset.

       warnings
          An optional object specifying the warnings to enable. The object may
          contain the following fields:

          dev
              An  optional boolean. Equivalent to passing -Wdev or -Wno-dev on
              the command line. This may not be set to false if errors.dev  is
              set to true.

          deprecated
              An  optional  boolean.  Equivalent  to  passing  -Wdeprecated or
              -Wno-deprecated on the command line. This  may  not  be  set  to
              false if errors.deprecated is set to true.

          uninitialized
              An optional boolean. Setting this to true is equivalent to pass-
              ing --warn-uninitialized on the command line.

          unusedCli
              An optional boolean. Setting this  to  false  is  equivalent  to
              passing --no-warn-unused-cli on the command line.

          systemVars
              An optional boolean. Setting this to true is equivalent to pass-
              ing --check-system-vars on the command line.

       errors
          An optional object specifying the errors to enable. The  object  may
          contain the following fields:

          dev
              An  optional  boolean.  Equivalent  to  passing  -Werror=dev  or
              -Wno-error=dev on the command line. This may not be set to  true
              if warnings.dev is set to false.

          deprecated
              An optional boolean. Equivalent to passing -Werror=deprecated or
              -Wno-error=deprecated on the command line. This may not  be  set
              to true if warnings.deprecated is set to false.

       debug
          An  optional object specifying debug options. The object may contain
          the following fields:

          output
              An optional boolean. Setting this to true is equivalent to pass-
              ing --debug-output on the command line.

          tryCompile
              An optional boolean. Setting this to true is equivalent to pass-
              ing --debug-trycompile on the command line.

          find
              An optional boolean. Setting this to true is equivalent to pass-
              ing --debug-find on the command line.

   Build Preset
       Each  entry of the buildPresets array is a JSON object that may contain
       the following fields:

       name
          A required string representing the machine-friendly name of the pre-
          set.   This identifier is used in the cmake --build --preset option.
          There must not be two  build  presets  in  the  union  of  CMakePre-
          sets.json  and  CMakeUserPresets.json in the same directory with the
          same name.  However, a build preset may have the same name as a con-
          figure or test preset.

       hidden
          An  optional  boolean  specifying  whether or not a preset should be
          hidden.  If a preset is hidden, it cannot be used  in  the  --preset
          argument  and  does  not  have to have a valid configurePreset, even
          from inheritance. hidden presets are intended to be used as  a  base
          for other presets to inherit via the inherits field.

       inherits
          An  optional  array  of strings representing the names of presets to
          inherit from. The preset will inherit all of  the  fields  from  the
          inherits presets by default (except name, hidden, inherits, descrip-
          tion, and displayName), but can override them as desired. If  multi-
          ple  inherits presets provide conflicting values for the same field,
          the earlier preset in the inherits list will be  preferred.  Presets
          in  CMakePresets.json  may not inherit from presets in CMakeUserPre-
          sets.json.

          This field can also be a string, which is  equivalent  to  an  array
          containing one string.

       condition
          An optional Condition object. This is allowed in preset files speci-
          fying version 3 or above.

       vendor
          An optional map containing vendor-specific information.  CMake  does
          not interpret the contents of this field except to verify that it is
          a map if it does exist. However, it should follow the  same  conven-
          tions  as  the  root-level  vendor  field.  If vendors use their own
          per-preset vendor field, they should implement inheritance in a sen-
          sible manner when appropriate.

       displayName
          An optional string with a human-friendly name of the preset.

       description
          An optional string with a human-friendly description of the preset.

       environment
          An  optional  map  of environment variables. The key is the variable
          name (which may not be an empty string), and  the  value  is  either
          null  or a string representing the value of the variable. Each vari-
          able is set regardless of whether or not a value was given to it  by
          the  process's environment. This field supports macro expansion, and
          environment variables in this map may reference each other, and  may
          be  listed  in  any order, as long as such references do not cause a
          cycle (for example, if  ENV_1  is  $env{ENV_2},  ENV_2  may  not  be
          $env{ENV_1}.)

          Environment  variables are inherited through the inherits field, and
          the preset's environment will be the union of  its  own  environment
          and  the  environment  from  all its parents. If multiple presets in
          this union define the same variable, the standard rules of  inherits
          are  applied.  Setting  a  variable to null causes it to not be set,
          even if a value was inherited from another preset.

          NOTE:
              For a CMake project using ExternalProject with  a  configuration
              preset  having  environment variables needed in the ExternalPro-
              ject, use a build preset that inherits that configuration preset
              or  the  ExternalProject will not have the environment variables
              set in the configuration  preset.   Example:  suppose  the  host
              defaults  to one compiler (say Clang) and the user wishes to use
              another compiler (say GCC). Set configuration preset environment
              variables  CC  and CXX and use a build preset that inherits that
              configuration preset. Otherwise the ExternalProject  may  use  a
              different  (system  default)  compiler  than the top-level CMake
              project.

       configurePreset
          An optional string specifying the name of a configure preset to  as-
          sociate with this build preset. If configurePreset is not specified,
          it must be inherited from the inherits preset (unless this preset is
          hidden).  The build directory is inferred from the configure preset,
          so the build will take place in the same binaryDir that the configu-
          ration did.

       inheritConfigureEnvironment
          An  optional boolean that defaults to true. If true, the environment
          variables from the associated configure preset are  inherited  after
          all  inherited  build  preset  environments,  but before environment
          variables explicitly specified in this build preset.

       jobs
          An optional integer. Equivalent to passing --parallel or -j  on  the
          command line.

       targets
          An optional string or array of strings. Equivalent to passing --tar-
          get or -t on the command line. Vendors may ignore the targets  prop-
          erty  or  hide  build presets that explicitly specify targets.  This
          field supports macro expansion.

       configuration
          An optional string. Equivalent to passing --config  on  the  command
          line.

       cleanFirst
          An  optional  bool.  If true, equivalent to passing --clean-first on
          the command line.

       verbose
          An optional bool. If true, equivalent to passing  --verbose  on  the
          command line.

       nativeToolOptions
          An optional array of strings. Equivalent to passing options after --
          on the command line. The array values support macro expansion.

   Test Preset
       Each entry of the testPresets array is a JSON object that  may  contain
       the following fields:

       name
          A required string representing the machine-friendly name of the pre-
          set.  This identifier is used in the ctest --preset  option.   There
          must  not  be two test presets in the union of CMakePresets.json and
          CMakeUserPresets.json in the same  directory  with  the  same  name.
          However,  a  test  preset  may  have the same name as a configure or
          build preset.

       hidden
          An optional boolean specifying whether or not  a  preset  should  be
          hidden.   If  a  preset is hidden, it cannot be used in the --preset
          argument and does not have to have  a  valid  configurePreset,  even
          from  inheritance.  hidden presets are intended to be used as a base
          for other presets to inherit via the inherits field.

       inherits
          An optional array of strings representing the names  of  presets  to
          inherit  from.  The  preset  will inherit all of the fields from the
          inherits presets by default (except name, hidden, inherits, descrip-
          tion,  and displayName), but can override them as desired. If multi-
          ple inherits presets provide conflicting values for the same  field,
          the  earlier  preset in the inherits list will be preferred. Presets
          in CMakePresets.json may not inherit from presets  in  CMakeUserPre-
          sets.json.

          This  field  can  also  be a string, which is equivalent to an array
          containing one string.

       condition
          An optional Condition object. This is allowed in preset files speci-
          fying version 3 or above.

       vendor
          An  optional  map containing vendor-specific information. CMake does
          not interpret the contents of this field except to verify that it is
          a  map  if it does exist. However, it should follow the same conven-
          tions as the root-level vendor  field.  If  vendors  use  their  own
          per-preset vendor field, they should implement inheritance in a sen-
          sible manner when appropriate.

       displayName
          An optional string with a human-friendly name of the preset.

       description
          An optional string with a human-friendly description of the preset.

       environment
          An optional map of environment variables. The key  is  the  variable
          name  (which  may  not  be an empty string), and the value is either
          null or a string representing the value of the variable. Each  vari-
          able  is set regardless of whether or not a value was given to it by
          the process's environment. This field supports macro expansion,  and
          environment  variables in this map may reference each other, and may
          be listed in any order, as long as such references do  not  cause  a
          cycle  (for  example,  if  ENV_1  is  $env{ENV_2},  ENV_2 may not be
          $env{ENV_1}.)

          Environment variables are inherited through the inherits field,  and
          the  preset's  environment  will be the union of its own environment
          and the environment from all its parents.  If  multiple  presets  in
          this  union define the same variable, the standard rules of inherits
          are applied. Setting a variable to null causes it  to  not  be  set,
          even if a value was inherited from another preset.

       configurePreset
          An  optional string specifying the name of a configure preset to as-
          sociate with this test preset. If configurePreset is not  specified,
          it must be inherited from the inherits preset (unless this preset is
          hidden). The build directory is inferred from the configure  preset,
          so  tests  will run in the same binaryDir that the configuration did
          and build did.

       inheritConfigureEnvironment
          An optional boolean that defaults to true. If true, the  environment
          variables  from  the associated configure preset are inherited after
          all inherited test preset environments, but before environment vari-
          ables explicitly specified in this test preset.

       configuration
          An optional string. Equivalent to passing --build-config on the com-
          mand line.

       overwriteConfigurationFile
          An optional array of  configuration  options  to  overwrite  options
          specified  in  the  CTest  configuration file. Equivalent to passing
          --overwrite for each value in the array. The  array  values  support
          macro expansion.

       output
          An optional object specifying output options. The object may contain
          the following fields.

          shortProgress
              An optional bool. If true, equivalent to passing  --progress  on
              the command line.

          verbosity
              An  optional  string  specifying verbosity level. Must be one of
              the following:

              default
                 Equivalent to passing no verbosity flags on the command line.

              verbose
                 Equivalent to passing --verbose on the command line.

              extra
                 Equivalent to passing --extra-verbose on the command line.

          debug
              An optional bool. If true, equivalent to passing --debug on  the
              command line.

          outputOnFailure
              An   optional  bool.  If  true,  equivalent  to  passing  --out-
              put-on-failure on the command line.

          quiet
              An optional bool. If true, equivalent to passing --quiet on  the
              command line.

          outputLogFile
              An  optional  string specifying a path to a log file. Equivalent
              to passing --output-log on the command line. This field supports
              macro expansion.

          labelSummary
              An    optional   bool.   If   false,   equivalent   to   passing
              --no-label-summary on the command line.

          subprojectSummary
              An optional bool. If false, equivalent to  passing  --no-subpro-
              ject-summary on the command line.

          maxPassedTestOutputSize
              An  optional  integer  specifying  the maximum output for passed
              tests in bytes. Equivalent to passing  --test-output-size-passed
              on the command line.

          maxFailedTestOutputSize
              An  optional  integer  specifying  the maximum output for failed
              tests in bytes. Equivalent to passing  --test-output-size-failed
              on the command line.

          maxTestNameWidth
              An  optional integer specifying the maximum width of a test name
              to output. Equivalent to  passing  --max-width  on  the  command
              line.

       filter
          An  optional  object  specifying how to filter the tests to run. The
          object may contain the following fields.

          include
              An optional object specifying which tests to include. The object
              may contain the following fields.

              name
                 An optional string specifying a regex for test names. Equiva-
                 lent to passing --tests-regex on the command line. This field
                 supports  macro  expansion.  CMake  regex syntax is described
                 under string(REGEX).

              label
                 An optional string specifying a regex for test labels. Equiv-
                 alent  to  passing  --label-regex  on  the command line. This
                 field supports macro expansion.

              useUnion

                 mand line.

              index
                 An optional object specifying tests to include by test index.
                 The object may contain the following fields. Can also  be  an
                 optional  string specifying a file with the command line syn-
                 tax for --tests-information. If specified as a  string,  this
                 field supports macro expansion.

                 start
                     An  optional  integer  specifying  a  test index to start
                     testing at.

                 An optional string specifying a regex for test labels. Equiv-
                 alent to passing --label-exclude on the  command  line.  This
                 field supports macro expansion.

              fixtures
                 An  optional object specifying which fixtures to exclude from
                 adding tests. The object may contain the following fields.

                 any
                     An optional string specifying a regex for  text  fixtures
                     to  exclude  from  adding any tests. Equivalent to --fix-
                     ture-exclude-any on the command line. This field supports
                     macro expansion.

                 setup
                     An  optional  string specifying a regex for text fixtures

              ignore
                 Equivalent to passing --no-tests=ignore on the command line.

   Condition
       The  condition  field  of  a preset, allowed in preset files specifying
       version 3 or above, is used to determine whether or not the  preset  is
       enabled. For example, this can be used to disable a preset on platforms
       other than Windows.  condition may be either a  boolean,  null,  or  an
       object. If it is a boolean, the boolean indicates whether the preset is
       enabled or disabled. If it is null, the preset is enabled, but the null
       condition  is  not  inherited  by any presets that may inherit from the
       preset. Sub-conditions (for example in a not, anyOf,  or  allOf  condi-
       tion) may not be null. If it is an object, it has the following fields:

       type
          A required string with one of the following values:

          "const"
              Indicates  that the condition is constant. This is equivalent to
              using a boolean in place of the  object.  The  condition  object
              will have the following additional fields:

              value
                 A  required  boolean  which provides a constant value for the
                 condition's evaluation.

          "equals"

          "notEquals"
              Indicates that the condition compares two strings to see if they
              are  equal  (or  not  equal). The condition object will have the
              following additional fields:

              lhs
                 First string to compare. This field supports macro expansion.

              rhs
                 Second string to compare. This field  supports  macro  expan-
                 sion.

          "inList"

          "notInList"
              Indicates  that the condition searches for a string in a list of
              strings.  The condition object will  have  the  following  addi-
              tional fields:

              string
                 A  required  string  to search for. This field supports macro
                 expansion.

              list
                 A required list of strings to  search.  This  field  supports
                 macro expansion, and uses short-circuit evaluation.

          "matches"

          "notMatches"
              Indicates  that  the condition searches for a regular expression
              in a string.  The condition object will have the following addi-
              tional fields:

              string
                 A required string to search. This field supports macro expan-
                 sion.

              regex
                 A required regular expression to search for. This field  sup-
                 ports macro expansion.

          "anyOf"

          "allOf"
              Indicates  that  the condition is an aggregation of zero or more
              nested conditions. The condition object will have the  following
              additional fields:

              conditions
                 A  required  array of condition objects. These conditions use
                 short-circuit evaluation.

          "not"
              Indicates that the condition is an inversion of  another  condi-
              tion.  The  condition  object will have the following additional
              fields:

              condition
                 A required condition object.

   Macro Expansion
       As mentioned above, some fields support  macro  expansion.  Macros  are
       recognized in the form $<macro-namespace>{<macro-name>}. All macros are
       evaluated in the context of the preset being used, even if the macro is
       in  a field that was inherited from another preset. For example, if the
       Base preset sets variable PRESET_NAME to ${presetName}, and the Derived
       preset inherits from Base, PRESET_NAME will be set to Derived.

       It  is  an error to not put a closing brace at the end of a macro name.
       For example, ${sourceDir is invalid. A dollar sign ($) followed by any-
       thing  other  than  a left curly brace ({) with a possible namespace is
       interpreted as a literal dollar sign.

       Recognized macros include:

       ${sourceDir}
          Path to the project source directory.

       ${sourceParentDir}
          Path to the project source directory's parent directory.

       ${sourceDirName}
          The  last  filename  component  of  ${sourceDir}.  For  example,  if
          ${sourceDir} is /path/to/source, this would be source.

       ${presetName}
          Name specified in the preset's name field.

       ${generator}
          Generator  specified  in the preset's generator field. For build and
          test presets, this will evaluate to the generator specified by  con-
          figurePreset.

       ${hostSystemName}
          The  name  of  the host operating system. Contains the same value as
          CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME. This is allowed in preset  files  specifying
          version 3 or above.

       ${dollar}
          A literal dollar sign ($).

       $env{<variable-name>}
          Environment  variable  with  name <variable-name>. The variable name
          may not be an empty string. If the variable is defined in the  envi-
          ronment field, that value is used instead of the value from the par-
          ent environment.  If the environment variable is not  defined,  this
          evaluates as an empty string.

          Note that while Windows environment variable names are case-insensi-
          tive, variable names within a preset are still case-sensitive.  This
          may  lead  to unexpected results when using inconsistent casing. For
          best results, keep the casing of environment variable names  consis-
          tent.

       $penv{<variable-name>}
          Similar  to  $env{<variable-name>}, except that the value only comes
          from the parent environment, and never from the  environment  field.
          This  allows you to prepend or append values to existing environment
          variables.       For      example,       setting       PATH       to
          /path/to/ninja/bin:$penv{PATH}  will  prepend  /path/to/ninja/bin to
          the PATH environment variable. This is  needed  because  $env{<vari-
          able-name>} does not allow circular references.

       $vendor{<macro-name>}
          An  extension  point  for  vendors to insert their own macros. CMake
          will not be able to use presets which have  a  $vendor{<macro-name>}
          macro,  and effectively ignores such presets. However, it will still
          be able to use other presets from the same file.

          CMake does not make any attempt to  interpret  $vendor{<macro-name>}
          macros. However, to avoid name collisions, IDE vendors should prefix
          <macro-name> with a very short (preferably <= 4  characters)  vendor
          identifier  prefix, followed by a ., followed by the macro name. For
          example, the Example IDE could have $vendor{xide.ideInstallDir}.
