I build 32-bit apps on a 64-bit Windows 7 system and I use VS2008 (express version, no 64-bit compiler). With CMake 2.8.10.1, CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR is reported to have the value x86, but with 2.8.11.2, now it has the value AMD64. I verified this with both versions of CMake and testing a trivial CMake project that simply prints the value of the variable.
According to the CMake documentation, on the one hand, the value should have always been AMD64 since the documentation says it just pulls the value from the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE environment variable. On the other hand, this conflicts with the statement that it should reflect the target architecture. I think x86 would be the correct value here rather than simply reporting whatever PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE says, since that environment variable is not going to always match the target architecture. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2013-08-06 23:11 Craig Scott New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
