- Visual Studio 15 2017
- Generates Visual Studio 15 (VS 2017) project files.
- The :variable:`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 15 2017 Win64``
- Specify target platform ``x64``.
- ``Visual Studio 15 2017 ARM``
- Specify target platform ``ARM``.
- Instance Selection
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- VS 2017 supports multiple installations on the same machine.
- The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable may be set as a
- cache entry containing the absolute path to a Visual Studio instance.
- If the value is not specified explicitly by the user or a toolchain file,
- CMake queries the Visual Studio Installer to locate VS instances, chooses
- one, and sets the variable as a cache entry to hold the value persistently.
- When CMake first chooses an instance, if the ``VS150COMNTOOLS`` environment
- variable is set and points to the ``Common7/Tools`` directory within
- one of the instances, that instance will be used. Otherwise, if more
- than one instance is installed we do not define which one is chosen
- by default.
- Toolset Selection
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The ``v141`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 15 2017 is selected by
- default. The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps
- via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option, to specify another toolset.
