   # Windows (Visual Studio 2026)
   cmake -Bbuild/windows -H. -G "Visual Studio 18"
   cmake --build build/windows --config Debug
   
   # macOS (Xcode)
   cmake -Bbuild/macos -H. -G Xcode -DCMAKE_XCODE_GENERATE_SCHEME=ON
   xcodebuild -project build/macos/pomdog.xcodeproj -configuration Debug
   
   # Linux (Ninja)
   cmake -Bbuild/linux -H. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
   ninja -C build/linux
