How does CMake specify “Platform Toolset” for a Visual Studio 2015 project?

Question

There is a VS2015 project which is generated by CMake and I want to change its \"Platform Toolset\".

Answer 1

First of all: remove the CMakeCache.txt if you have already generated your project. Next run cmake:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 14" -T v120

Whenever you need to change your generator(and the toolset is a part of it) you should remove the CMakeCache.txt file.
