+:generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator. This variable activates
+cross-config mode. Targets from each config specified in this variable can be
+built from any ``build-<Config>.ninja`` file. Custom commands will use the
+configuration native to ``build-<Config>.ninja``. If it is set to ``all``, all
+configurations from :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` are cross-configs. If
+it is not specified, or empty, each ``build-<Config>.ninja`` file will only
+contain build rules for its own configuration.

+The value of this variable must be a subset of
+:variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES`.
