Visual Studio 8 2005 — CMake 3.10.2 Documentation

# Visual Studio 8 2005

Deprecated. Generates Visual Studio 8 2005 project files.

Note

This generator is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake. It will still be possible to build with VS 8 2005 tools using the `Visual Studio 10 2010` (or above) generator with `CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` set to `v80`, or by using the `NMake Makefiles` generator.

The `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set to specify a target platform name.

For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:

`Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64`
  Specify target platform `x64`.
`Visual Studio 8 2005 <WinCE-SDK>`
  Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
