We don't currently support that officially. CMake generates temporary project files in several places, e.g. try_compile, that would not get user-set properties from the project code. In order to support a custom platform SDK CMake would need to be taught a corresponding abstraction. The VS generators already support similar abstractions: * CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET = v141 or some other toolset * CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM = Win32, x64, etc. * CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE = Which VS 2017 to use on local machine All of these affect the way .vcxproj files are generated. If a .vcxproj file needs an additional field for MSBuild to be able to find the SDK then a similar abstraction will be needed. I'd need to understand the use case better before recommending an approach to such an abstraction. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
