# CodeLite

Deprecated since version 3.27: Support for Extra Generators is deprecated and will be removed from a future version of CMake. IDEs may use the `cmake-file-api(7)` to view CMake-generated project build trees.

Generates CodeLite project files.

Project files for CodeLite will be created in the top directory and in every subdirectory which features a CMakeLists.txt file containing a `project()` call. The appropriate make program can build the project through the default `all` target. An `install` target is also provided.

Added in version 3.7: The `CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` variable may be set to `ON` to change the default behavior from projects to targets as the basis for project files.

This "extra" generator may be specified as:

`CodeLite - MinGW Makefiles`

  Generate with `MinGW Makefiles`.

`CodeLite - NMake Makefiles`

  Generate with `NMake Makefiles`.

`CodeLite - Ninja`

  Generate with `Ninja`.

`CodeLite - Unix Makefiles`

  Generate with `Unix Makefiles`.
