There is cmake **build** step: cmake --build _builds
So in GUI it's:
* cmake configure
* cmake generate
* IDE build (which you can do with cmake --build so it can be called
"cmake build" step)
in cmd:
* cmake configure+generate
* cmake build
Also I can call it "cmake step" in docs about some C++ project, but if
the docs about cmake itself I think this term is too wide

In documentation, blog articles, etc. I just call it the "cmake" step
(or sometimes the "project setup" step if talking in a more
project-wide sense). For many users, the separate configure and
generate steps are somewhat of an implementation detail, so it makes
more sense to give it a single term. I'm not aware of any generally
accepted term, but the ones I use seem to be fairly easy to
understand, especially for those new to CMake. YMMV.

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
