If the ``VS150COMNTOOLS`` environment variable +is set and points to the ``Common7/Tools`` directory within one of +the instances, that instance will be used. The environment variable +must remain consistently set whenever CMake is re-run within a given +build tree. + +Toolset Selection +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The ``v141`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 15 2017 is selected by +default. The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps +via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option, to specify another toolset. + +.. include:: VS_TOOLSET_HOST_ARCH.txt |
