I think proposal would make things cleaner. I think specifying only -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsCE wouldn't be enough or how does VS know what compiler to use? I would like it if we had a toolchain file for each SDK but then I'm not clear what it contains. In this toolchain file do we specify compiler etc like it is done for gcc for example, or would the toolchain file contain a variable like CMAKE_VS_SDK pointing to one of the installed SDKs? I'm not yet familiar with the VS build environment . > I can help guide anyone interested in making the needed changes. I might be able to invest some time into this so some guidance would be welcome ;) Pascal -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
