[CMake] Visual Studios platform choice

[Dvir Yitzchaki]

We’re generating both 32 bit and 64 bit solutions and the drop down only shows one architecture on each solution.
Checked on VS 2013 and 2015.

Subject: [CMake] Visual Studios platform choice

Hi,

I understand from reading this newgroup (e.g. https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2013-March/053775.html) that the only way to support multiple platforms in Visual Studio is to run CMake multiple times, once for each platform.

I'm porting some linux based code to the Windows world, and the Windows dev showed me that in Visual Studio, platform choice is a pulldown menu at the top of the screen. This pulldown appears even if we run CMake without specifying a 64 bit platform. This is a bit confusing, because we've only generated a solution and project file for 32 bit. So what happens when someone selects 64 bit on the pulldown menu? What's being built?

Thanks
