Parameters

SOURCE_PATH

The path to the root of the source tree.

Because MSBuild uses in-source builds, the source tree will be copied into a temporary location for the build. This parameter is the base for that copy and forms the base for all XYZ_SUBPATH options.

USE_VCPKG_INTEGRATION

Apply the normal integrate install integration for building the project.

By default, projects built with this command will not automatically link libraries or have header paths set.

PROJECT_SUBPATH

The subpath to the solution (.sln) or project (.vcxproj) file relative to SOURCE_PATH.

LICENSE_SUBPATH

The subpath to the license file relative to SOURCE_PATH.

INCLUDES_SUBPATH

The subpath to the includes directory relative to SOURCE_PATH.

This parameter should be a directory and should not end in a trailing slash.

ALLOW_ROOT_INCLUDES

Indicates that top-level include files (e.g. include/zlib.h) should be allowed.

REMOVE_ROOT_INCLUDES

Indicates that top-level include files (e.g. include/Makefile.am) should be removed.

SKIP_CLEAN

Indicates that the intermediate files should not be removed.

Ports using this option should later call vcpkg_clean_msbuild() to manually clean up.

RELEASE_CONFIGURATION

The configuration (/p:Configuration msbuild parameter) used for Release builds.

DEBUG_CONFIGURATION

The configuration (/p:Configuration msbuild parameter) used for Debug builds.

TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION

The WindowsTargetPlatformVersion (/p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion msbuild parameter).

TARGET

The MSBuild target to build (/t:<TARGET>).

PLATFORM

The platform (/p:Platform msbuild parameter) used for the build.

This defaults to a value mapping VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE to the default values Visual Studio uses when creating a .vcxproj:

x86 becomes Win32
x64 becomes x64
arm becomes ARM
arm64 becomes arm64

When passing a .sln rather than a .vcxproj, this may need to be set back to ${VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE} to match the Platform strings used by solutions.

PLATFORM_TOOLSET

The platform toolset (/p:PlatformToolset msbuild parameter) used for the build.

OPTIONS

Additional options passed to msbuild for all builds.

OPTIONS_RELEASE

Additional options passed to msbuild for Release builds. These are in addition to OPTIONS.

OPTIONS_DEBUG

Additional options passed to msbuild for Debug builds. These are in addition to OPTIONS.
