Re: [CMake] Multi-platform visual studio projects
For those interested, we have a fork with the ability to support MultiPlatform projects in Visual Studio for Windows Phone and Windows Store apps. It is not a big change to remove that restriction and have it for desktop apps, please tell me if there is interest. For those interested the fork is on http://CMakeMS.codeplex.com and the branch is MSMultiPlatform. As David mentions though, this does have limitations. ~Gilles From: CMake [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Scott Aron Bloom Sent: Sunday, March 8, 2015 15:17 To: David Cole; Scott Aron Bloom Cc: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Multi-platform visual studio projects Agreed on all points..

Is it possible with cmake, to build a VS 2013, win32 and win64 vsproj solution file set? If not, I understand, then I have a follow on question..

The problem, for my automated build flow, I was hoping to make a mix, 32/64 installer.. it’s a lot harder to do with two completely separate build trees :( As to my second question, and this is purely my newb'ness with 64 bit visual studio. I know, to us cl.exe you must run the vsvars with the correct parameters, either for 32 or 64, before running cmake from the command line. And to create the proper vcproj files you must append Win64 to the generator name. However, once the solution is created, does the path of the shell matter at all?
