CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME¶
The name of the operating system for which CMake is to build.
See the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
variable for the OS version.
Note that CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
is not set to anything by default when running
in script mode, since it's not building anything.
System Name for Host Builds¶
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
is by default set to the same value as the
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME
variable so that the build
targets the host system.
System Name for Cross Compiling¶
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
may be set explicitly when first configuring a new build
tree in order to enable cross compiling.
In this case the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
variable must also be
set explicitly.
