- `build_by_default` *(added 0.38)* causes, when set to true, to
have this target be built by default, that is, when invoking plain
`ninja`; the default value is false
+ *(changed in 0.50)* if `build_by_default` is explicitly set to false, `install`
+ will no longer override it. If `build_by_default` is not set, `install` will
+ still determine its default.
- `build_always` (deprecated) if `true` this target is always considered out of
date and is rebuilt every time. Equivalent to setting both
`build_always_stale` and `build_by_default` to true.
