Kate — CMake 4.3.4 Documentation

# Kate

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 Kate project files.

A project file for Kate will be created in the top directory in the top level build directory. To use it in Kate, the Project plugin must be enabled. The project file is loaded in Kate by opening the `ProjectName.kateproject` file in the editor. If the Kate Build-plugin is enabled, all targets generated by CMake are available for building.

`Kate - Ninja`
