"buildPresets": [ "name": "dev-linux-gcc", "inherits": "default", "configurePreset": "dev-linux-gcc" ] When you run cmake --build --preset dev-linux-gcc , CMake automatically uses the binary directory from the corresponding configure preset. List available presets cmake --list-presets Output:

These become -D flags passed to CMake. They override values from inherited presets. Build presets reference a configure preset by name. The jobs field controls parallel build level. Build presets reference a configure preset by name
