CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET¶
Native build system toolset specification provided by user.
Some CMake generators support a toolset specification to tell the
native build system how to choose a compiler. If the user specifies
a toolset (e.g. via the cmake(1) -T option or via
the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET environment variable) the value
will be available in this variable.
The value of this variable should never be modified by project code.
A toolchain file specified by the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
variable may initialize CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. Once a given
build tree has been initialized with a particular value for this
variable, changing the value has undefined behavior.
Toolset specification is supported only on specific generators:
Visual Studio Generators for VS 2010 and above
The
Xcodegenerator for Xcode 3.0 and aboveThe
Green Hills MULTIgenerator
See native build system documentation for allowed toolset names.
Visual Studio Toolset Selection¶
The Visual Studio Generators support toolset specification using one of these forms:
toolsettoolset[,key=value]*key=value[,key=value]*
The toolset specifies the toolset name. The selected toolset name
is provided in the CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET variable.
The key=value pairs form a comma-separated list of options to
specify generator-specific details of the toolset selection.
Supported pairs are:
cuda=<version>|<path>Specify the CUDA toolkit version to use or the path to a standalone CUDA toolkit directory. Supported by VS 2010 and above. The version can only be used with the CUDA toolkit VS integration globally installed. See the
CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_CUDAandCMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_CUDA_CUSTOM_DIRvariables.host=<arch>Specify the host tools architecture as
x64orx86. Supported by VS 2013 and above. See theCMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_HOST_ARCHITECTUREvariable.version=<version>Specify the toolset version to use. Supported by VS 2017 and above with the specified toolset installed. See the
CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSIONvariable.VCTargetsPath=<path>Specify an alternative
VCTargetsPathvalue for Visual Studio project files. This allows use of VS platform extension configuration files (.propsand.targets) that are not installed with VS.
