Added in version 3.4.
Visual Studio Windows Target Platform Version.
When targeting Windows 10 and above, Visual Studio Generators for VS 2015 and above support specification of a Windows SDK version:
If CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
specifies a version=
field,
as documented by Visual Studio Platform Selection, that SDK
version is selected.
Otherwise, if the WindowsSDKVersion
environment variable
is set to an available SDK version, that version is selected.
This is intended for use in environments established by vcvarsall.bat
or similar scripts.
Added in version 3.27: This is enabled by policy CMP0149
.
Otherwise, if CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
is set to an available
SDK version, that version is selected.
Changed in version 3.27: This is disabled by policy CMP0149
.
Otherwise, CMake uses the latest Windows SDK version available.
The chosen Windows target version number is provided
in CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION
. If no Windows 10 SDK
is available this value will be empty.
One may set a CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR
environment variable
to an absolute path to tell CMake to look for Windows 10 SDKs in
a custom location. The specified directory is expected to contain
Include/10.0.*
directories.
