As I got 15 projects in my solution I don't want to change each project manualy everytime I run CMake so I found a solution..
In cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx on line 434 I changed this:
if(const char* toolset = gg->GetPlatformToolset())      {      std::string pts = "<PlatformToolset>";      pts += toolset;      pts += "</PlatformToolset>\n";      this->WriteString(pts.c_str(), 2);      }
Into this:
if(this->Target->GetProperty("PLATFORM_TOOLSET"))  {  this->WriteString(((std::string)"<PlatformToolset>" + this->Target->GetProperty("PLATFORM_TOOLSET") + "</PlatformToolset>").c_str(), 2);  }else if(const char* toolset = gg->GetPlatformToolset())  {  std::string pts = "<PlatformToolset>";  pts += toolset;  pts += "</PlatformToolset>\n";  this->WriteString(pts.c_str(), 2);  }
Then I need to set the target property of my projects:
set_target_properties(MyTarget PROPERTIES PLATFORM_TOOLSET "v120_CTP_Nov2012")
I don't know if this is the correct way to do it, but if it is it would be cool if it was implemented.. or some other solution.
