Hi all, Please help me an issue I'm facing with CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME on FreeBSD 10.3. It gives back empty string, if I read it before the 'project(...)'. As far as I understood, CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME can be used only after the 'project(...)' call, but CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME should simply give back the result of 'uname -s' and could be used before 'project'. I'd like to use CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME in my Compilers module to switch to clang instead of gcc in case if the host system is FreeBSD.
