CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.1
Generator-specific target platform specification provided by user.
Some CMake generators support a target platform name to be given
to the native build system to choose a compiler toolchain.
If the user specifies a platform name (e.g. via the :option:`cmake -A`
option or via the :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` 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 :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`
variable may initialize ``CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM``. Once a given
build tree has been initialized with a particular value for this
variable, changing the value has undefined behavior.
Platform specification is supported only on specific generators:
* For :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` with VS 2005 and above this
specifies the target architecture.
* For :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` this specifies the target architecture.
See native build system documentation for allowed platform names.
.. _`Visual Studio Platform Selection`:
Visual Studio Platform Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` support platform specification
using one of these forms:
* ``platform``
* ``platform[,key=value]*``
* ``key=value[,key=value]*``
The ``platform`` specifies the target platform (VS target architecture),
such as ``x64``, ``ARM64``, or ``Win32``. The selected platform
name is provided in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` variable.
The ``key=value`` pairs form a comma-separated list of options to
specify generator-specific details of the platform selection.
Supported pairs are:
``version=<version>``
.. versionadded:: 3.27
Specify the Windows SDK version to use. This is supported by VS 2015 and
above when targeting Windows or Windows Store. CMake will set the
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION` variable to the
selected SDK version.
The ``<version>`` may be one of:
``10.0``
Specify that any 10.0 SDK version may be used, and let Visual Studio
pick one. This is supported by VS 2019 and above.
``10.0.<build>.<increment>``
Specify the exact 4-component SDK version, e.g., ``10.0.19041.0``.
The specified version of the SDK must be installed. It may not exceed
the value of :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM`,
if that variable is set.
``8.1``
Specify the 8.1 SDK version. This is always supported by VS 2015.
On VS 2017 and above the 8.1 SDK must be installed.
If the ``version`` field is not specified, CMake selects a version as
described in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION`
variable documentation.
