| CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR | |
| ----------------------------- | |
| This variable is only used when :variable:`CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING` is on. It | |
| should point to a command on the host system that can run executable built | |
| for the target system. | |
| The command will be used to run :command:`try_run` generated executables, | |
| which avoids manual population of the ``TryRunResults.cmake`` file. | |
| It is also used as the default value for the | |
| :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` target property of executables. |
