Visual Studio 9 2008

Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project files.

Platform Selection

The default target platform name (architecture) is Win32.

The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set, perhaps via the cmake(1) -A option, to specify a target platform name (architecture). For example:

  • cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Win32
  • cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A x64
  • cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Itanium
  • cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A <WinCE-SDK> (Specify a target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.)

For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify a target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name. This is supported only for:

Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64
Specify target platform x64.
Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64
Specify target platform Itanium.
Visual Studio 9 2008 <WinCE-SDK>
Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
