LightGBM windows installation issue - cmake - does not support platform specification

Question

I am trying to install LightGBM in windows 10 using cmake.

I am following the process given on this link

on this command

cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_         


        

Answer 1

Platform specification is mainly used for Visual Studio generator. Sometimes, CMake uses this generator by default. In other cases, you need to specify generator explicitly, with -G option:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 ..

(Make sure that generator corresponds to the Visual Studio which you actually have. See list of Visual Studio generators supported by CMake.)
