Visual Studio 11 2012¶
Generates Visual Studio 11 (VS 2012) project files.
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.0, one may specify this generator using the name “Visual Studio 11” without the year component.
Project Types¶
Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated. Other types of projects (JavaScript, Database, Website, etc.) are not supported.
Platform Selection¶
The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set, perhaps
via the cmake(1) -A option, to specify a target platform
name (architecture). For example:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A Win32cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A x64cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A ARMcmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A <WinCE-SDK>(Specify a target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.)
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 11 2012 Win64- Specify target platform
x64. Visual Studio 11 2012 ARM- Specify target platform
ARM. Visual Studio 11 2012 <WinCE-SDK>- Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
Toolset Selection¶
The v110 toolset that comes with Visual Studio 11 2012 is selected by
default. The CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET option may be set, perhaps
via the cmake(1) -T option, to specify another toolset.
