It is also useful for deploying to Windows 7 machines that have not had updates installed to provide the UCRT libraries. I've updated the documentation to show Windows XP as an example: InstallRequiredSystemLibraries: Document UCRT option use case https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=dab3ccf2 >> * A "CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES" variable was added for >> use by toolchain files to specify platform-specific variables that >> must be propagated by the "try_compile()" command into test >> projects. > > Can someone please add an example to the help. Done: Help: Document CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES example https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=c05d240e > E.g.

It is one way. Another way is to set the cache entry directly: set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-mcpu=..." CACHE STRING "C++ flags") Note that CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is propagated by try_compile automatically. The above two approaches are actually just trying to get a toolchain file to have a say in the initial CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS cache entry value of the main project. -Brad -- 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.
