The default target platform name (architecture) is ``Win32``.
2018-10-28 12:09:07 +01:00
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
2022-11-16 20:14:03 +01:00
via the :option:`cmake -A` option, to specify a target platform
2018-10-28 12:09:07 +01:00
name (architecture). For example:
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A Win32``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A x64``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A ARM``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A ARM64``
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
a target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name.
This is supported only for:
``Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64``
Specify target platform ``x64``.
``Visual Studio 15 2017 ARM``
Specify target platform ``ARM``.
