Yes, well. “cmake --help” *is* a FM, IMHO.
But now, when I’m in the cmd prompt:
C:\dev>cmake --help | findstr Visual
Visual Studio 6 = Generates Visual Studio 6 project files.
Visual Studio 7 = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2002 project
Visual Studio 10 = Generates Visual Studio 10 (2010) project
Visual Studio 11 = Generates Visual Studio 11 (2012) project
Visual Studio 12 = Generates Visual Studio 12 (2013) project
Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003 = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2003 project
Visual Studio 8 2005 = Generates Visual Studio 8 2005 project files.
Visual Studio 9 2008 = Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project files.
C:\dev>cmake --help | findstr Win64
C:\dev>cmake --help | findstr ARM
C:\dev>rem Huh. There used to be Win64 generators. Wonder what happened to them?
I always use “cmake --help” when I’m in the cmd prompt so that I can copy and
paste a generator name. Since they’re not named nicely/consistently across all
versions of VS, I am constantly reminding myself of the correct full string.
If you don’t want to have cmake --help list the same exact set of stuff
available in the drop-down in cmake-gui, I think you’re asking for questions
like this for a long time to come.
At least list the ones that used to be there, and say “hey here’s a better way
to do this now with -T”. Or mention “Win64” and “ARM” in the -T help so
somebody looking for Win64 will see it.
You say RTFM, I say, “OK, what page is the Win64 stuff on?”
Thanks,
D
