| 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. |
| |
| If this variable contains a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language |
| Lists>`, then the first value is the command and remaining values are its |
| arguments. |
| |
| 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. |
