12  The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
13  via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-A`` option, to specify a target platform
14  name (architecture).  For example:
15
16  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Win32``
17  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A x64``
18  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Itanium``
19  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A <WinCE-SDK>``
20    (Specify a target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.)

22For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
23a target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name.
24This is supported only for:

27  Specify target platform ``x64``.
28
29``Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64``
