The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15621 ====================================================================== Reported By: Paul "TBBle" Hampson Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15621 Category: Documentation Reproducibility: N/A Severity: tweak Priority: low Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-06-17 21:29 EDT Last Modified: 2015-06-17 21:29 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM references toolset instead of platform Description: The help for CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM says: "If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable."
which is clearly a cut-and-paste from CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET: "If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -T option) the value will be available in this variable." It _should_ say: "If the user specifies a platform name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable." i.e. replace 'toolset' with 'platform', to match the variable name and the -A command-line parameter help.
