In my experience, CMake always generates the 32-bit version by default (and the generator doesn't let you switch in the project). I consider this extremely annoying. I only have 1 Visual Studio version installed so it can't be picking up other versions. > -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" I always have to use that switch. Aside from picking 64-bit by default or getting a project generator that correctly allows switching within the project, I wish there was a way I could just request 64-bit with a command line switch independently of the Visual Studio version. In the case where I am working with people with different versions of Visual Studio and we share build scripts, I have no easy way of controlling 64-bit without knowing exactly which Visual Studio version is installed.
