Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE You are right Nils. I just tried cmake vtk projects with VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt and it is not picking the "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" generator. But why some of them do? Actually out of 10 cmake projects I build, 8 of them actually picked "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" generator by default. Or have I just been lucky so far. I guess using the switch -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" won't hurt.

Like I tried to explain this is not the case. The command line environment doesn't have any effect on which generator CMake will pick. When you run CMake from a plain "cmd" or a "Visual Studio 8 2005" command prompt you will still end up with the "Visual Studio 12 2013" generator by default (assuming 2013 is the newest available and known visual studio installation).
