Visual Studio 14 2015¶
Generates Visual Studio 14 (VS 2015) project files.
The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set
to specify a target platform name (architecture).
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:
Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64- Specify target platform
x64. Visual Studio 14 2015 ARM- Specify target platform
ARM.
Toolset Selection¶
The v140 toolset that comes with Visual Studio 14 2015 is selected by
default. The CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET option may be set, perhaps
via the cmake(1) -T option, to specify another toolset.
For each toolset that comes with this version of Visual Studio, there are
variants that are themselves compiled for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) hosts
(independent of the architecture they target). By default Visual Studio
chooses the 32-bit variant even on a 64-bit host. One may request use of the
64-bit host tools by adding a host=x64 option to the toolset specification.
See the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET variable for details.
