For MSVC, GNU Make, nmake, Xcode etc. Now, some of these backends are "multi-config", such as the ones for MSVC and Xcode. That means, the same project file can generate multiple configurations (e.g. Debug, Release or RelWithDebugInfo). Others, the Makefile based ones (GNU Make and nmake) are "single-config", where the build system generated by CMake can only build a single configuration which the user selected when configuring the build tree.

Thanks a lot.
So the Code Blocks gen isn't native? Just uses a makefile for the
build system. That explains it.
