Visual Studio 15 2017
---------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.7.1
Generates Visual Studio 15 (VS 2017) project files.
Project Types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated (and Fortran with
Intel compiler integration). Other types of projects (JavaScript,
Powershell, Python, etc.) are not supported.
Instance Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. versionadded:: 3.11
VS 2017 supports multiple installations on the same machine. The
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable may be used to select one.
Platform Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default target platform name (architecture) is ``Win32``.
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
via the :option:`cmake -A` option, to specify a target platform
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``
.. versionchanged:: 4.0
Previously, for compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1,
one could specify a target platform name optionally at the
end of the generator name. This has been removed.
This was supported only for:
``Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64``
Specify target platform ``x64``.
``Visual Studio 15 2017 ARM``
Specify target platform ``ARM``.
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 :option:`cmake -T` option, to specify another toolset.
.. |VS_TOOLSET_HOST_ARCH_DEFAULT| replace::
By default this generator uses the 32-bit variant even on a 64-bit host.
