CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR¶
The name of the CPU CMake is running on.
Windows Platforms¶
On Windows, this variable is set to the value of the environment variable
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE.
Unix Platforms¶
On systems that support uname, this variable is set to the output of:
uname -mon GNU, Linux, Cygwin, Android, orarchon OpenBSD, oron other systems,
uname -pif its exit code is nonzero, oruname -motherwise.
macOS Platforms¶
The value of uname -m is used by default.
On Apple Silicon hosts, the architecture printed by uname -m may vary
based on CMake's own architecture and that of the invoking process tree.
Added in version 3.19.2: On Apple Silicon hosts:
The
CMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSORvariable or theCMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSORenvironment variable may be set to specify the host architecture explicitly.If
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURESis not set, CMake adds explicit flags to tell the compiler to build for the host architecture so the toolchain does not have to guess based on the process tree's architecture.
