Visual Studio 9 2008

Deprecated. Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 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 9 2008 tools using the Visual Studio 14 2015 generator (or above, and with VS 10 2010 also installed) with CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET set to v90, or by using the NMake Makefiles generator.

Platform Selection

The default target platform name (architecture) is Win32.

New in version 3.1: The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set, perhaps via the cmake -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.
