Visual Studio 11 2012
---------------------
Deprecated. Generates Visual Studio 11 (VS 2012) project files.
.. note::
This generator is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
of CMake. It will still be possible to build with VS 11 2012 tools
using the :generator:`Visual Studio 12 2013` (or above) generator
with :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` set to ``v110``, or by
using the :generator:`NMake Makefiles` generator.
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.0, one may specify this
generator using the name "Visual Studio 11" without the year component.
Project Types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated (and Fortran with
Intel compiler integration). Other types of projects (JavaScript,
Database, Website, etc.) are not supported.
Platform Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default target platform name (architecture) is ``Win32``.
.. versionadded:: 3.1
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
via the :option:`cmake -A` option, to specify a target platform
name (architecture). For example:
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A Win32``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A x64``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -A ARM``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" -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 11 2012 Win64``
Specify target platform ``x64``.
``Visual Studio 11 2012 ARM``
Specify target platform ``ARM``.
``Visual Studio 11 2012 <WinCE-SDK>``
Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
Toolset Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``v110`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 11 2012 is selected by
default. The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps
via the :option:`cmake -T` option, to specify another toolset.
