Hi all,

I have a question concerning Cross Compiling with CMake on Windows. I would like to use Visual Studio but this is not a must. What I do is, I setup a project for Cross Compiling on Linux and it works fine. Now I want to transfer to Windows, so I set up a toolchain file which sets the following variables:
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH
CMAKE_C_COMPILER
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER

and some more stuff. Then I run my cmake gui (I tried 3.2 and 3.4rc2) on Windows and tell it to generate a project for Visual Studio 10 and to use the toolchain file. However, the output shows that it is trying to use the Visual Studio compiler and then subsequently the build fails because of some unkown compiler flags.

So my question is: Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do? Can I cross compile with Visual Studio or do I have to use a different generator? All I found in the documentation is that it is possible to cross compile with a toolchain file...

Cheers
Michael
