Why can't I find visual studio generators in cmake?
0
I am trying to install clang by creating a .sln file using cmake.
To generate the file I used this command inside the build directory:
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A x64 -Thost=x64 ..clang
But I am getting an error that there are no generators with name "Visual Studio 15 2017".
Output of the command:
CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 15 2017
Generators
Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
Ninja = Generates build.ninja files.
Watcom WMake = Generates Watcom WMake makefiles.
CodeBlocks - Ninja = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
CodeLite - Ninja = Generates CodeLite project files.
CodeLite - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeLite project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Ninja = Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.
Sublime Text 2 - Unix Makefiles
= Generates Sublime Text 2 project files.
Kate - Ninja = Generates Kate project files.
Kate - Unix Makefiles = Generates Kate project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles= Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.

Are you running CMake on non-Windows OS?

Well, that's why you don't see VS generators.

So there aren't generators for the linux version of VS? And if not then how can I create a .sln file to load into VS?
