[CMake] Correct way to build for 64 bit?

[Stephane Rouleau (Consultant)]

Bill,

Yup, with VS2005 you can now have multiple target platforms in a single
vcproj, and this can be run on Win32 and Win64.  From a single project,
you can target, for instance, Windows Mobile 5, Win32 and x64, provided
you have all the proper tools and SDKs installed.

When you look at your project properties from the IDE, there's a button
called "Configuration Manager..."

>From there, you can add new configurations (debug / release) and/or new
platforms (win32/x64/smart devices).

In the vcproj it will end up looking like this:

<VisualStudioProject
  ...
  <Platforms>
	<Platform Name="Win32" />
	<Platform Name="x64" />  
  </Platforms>
  <Configurations>
     <Configuration Name="Debug|Win32" ...>
	...
     </Configuration>
     <Configuration Name="Debug|x64" ...>
	...
     </Configuration>  
  </Configurations>
</VisualStudioProject>

Hope this helps,

Steph

Sounds interesting I did not know that was possible.  Do you have
instructions on how to set something like that up?
