| CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.4 |
| |
| Visual Studio Windows Target Platform Version. |
| |
| When targeting Windows 10 and above, :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for |
| VS 2015 and above support specification of a Windows SDK version: |
| |
| * If :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` specifies a ``version=`` field, |
| as documented by :ref:`Visual Studio Platform Selection`, that SDK |
| version is selected. |
| |
| * Otherwise, if the ``WindowsSDKVersion`` environment variable |
| is set to an available SDK version, that version is selected. |
| This is intended for use in environments established by ``vcvarsall.bat`` |
| or similar scripts. |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.27 |
| This is enabled by policy :policy:`CMP0149`. |
| |
| * Otherwise, if :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION` is set to an available |
| SDK version, that version is selected. |
| |
| .. versionchanged:: 3.27 |
| This is disabled by policy :policy:`CMP0149`. |
| |
| * Otherwise, CMake uses the latest Windows SDK version available. |
| |
| The chosen Windows target version number is provided |
| in ``CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION``. If no Windows 10 SDK |
| is available this value will be empty. |
| |
| One may set a ``CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR`` *environment variable* |
| to an absolute path to tell CMake to look for Windows 10 SDKs in |
| a custom location. The specified directory is expected to contain |
| ``Include/10.0.*`` directories. |
| |
| See also :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM`. |
