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

Using CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is better than using the -T option.

It's not required to remove the CMakeCache.txt file when re-generating CMake.

e.g.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16" -A Win32 -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET=v140
