It's too long :)
Also it doesn't express the fact that it's a single action, consider:
"To add variables on configure and generate steps use '-D'"
"Before running configure and generate steps note that old variables
from cache can be used"
etc.

Yes, I understand that. Question is about the name of the step. I.e. when I
do write manual what should I choose
Please run configure step by: cmake -H. -B_builds
or
Please run generate step by: cmake -H. -B_builds
?
May be both versions are correct? Or both incorrect?

Hi,
I have a question about CMake terminology. When we are using CMake GUI
there
are two buttons "Configure" and "Generate", hence we have two stages:
1. Configure step, when we do configuring project, effectively creating
file
with cache variables (which we can modify) without really generating
native
tools files like Makefile/*.sln/etc.
2. Generate step, when we do generating project using file with cache
variables, i.e. create those Makefile/*.sln/etc.
The question is about command line version of CMake. Since we do creating
file with cache and generate native tools files in one step what is the
right term? Is it a configure step because we read user's '-D' and create
cache file? Is it a generate step because native tools files generated
at
the end? May be there is a third name to describe the fact that it's
configure+generate step?
Thanks, Ruslo
