CMake NMake generator not generating ${PlatformToolset} variable

I have a find_package script that uses ${PlatformToolset} and ${Platform} to find the correct directories. However, when using the nmake generator, it seems these are not set. Am I correct in thinking that these variables are not set, or am I doing something wrong? Is there a replacement for these variables?

Solution

  • NMake sets MSVC_VERSION and other MSVC variables, so Platformtoolset and Platform can be derived from that:

    if(MSVC_VERSION GREATER 1900)
    set(PlatformToolSet v141)
else()
    set(PlatformToolSet v140)
endif()

if(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P GREATER 4)
  set(Platform x64)
else()
  set(Platform Win32)
endif()
