[CMake] CMake targeting Android with "Visual Studio 15 2017" generator issue

[Dvir Yitzchaki]

There was a CMake fork by Microsoft for generating VS 2015 Android projects (see here<https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/12/15/support-for-android-cmake-projects-in-visual-studio>) but it seems it was discontinued.

Subject: [CMake] CMake targeting Android with "Visual Studio 15 2017" generator issue



We are trying to port a C++/OpenGL project from MS Windows to Android. The project is using CMake to generate solution and project files for Visual Studio 2017. All attempts to create solution and project files for VS2017 when targeting Android have failed with the CMake GUI generating the following error message:



>CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:100 (project):

>  CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is 'Android' but 'NVIDIA Nsight Tegra Visual Studio

>  Edition' is not installed.

>

>Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

>See also

"C:/SVN/Nexus_Android/Build_Android_vs2017/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".



Line 100 of the CMakeLists.txt is:

    "project(${PROJECT_NAME} C CXX)"



The log file contains:

   The target system is: Android - 23 -

   The host system is: Windows - 10.0.16299 - AMD64



I have tried toolchain files from OpenCV, Taka-No-Me as well as a simple toolchain file as follows:



set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 23) # API level set(CMAKE_ANDROID_API 23) set(CMAKE_ANDROID_API_MIN 16) set(CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/AndroidNDK/android-ndk-r15c)

set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH arm64-v8a)

set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI arm64-v8a)



All result in the CMake GUI generating the error above.



I have created a Native-Activity Application(Android) test project in VS2017 and have been able to build/deploy/debug the native C++ on both emulated targets for Android and a USB connected Android tablet target. VS2017 does not require ''NVIDIA Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition'. Is there a work around for CMake to get it to generate native C++ Android projects for VS2017?



Tool versions being used:

Visual Studio 15 2017

CMake 3.10.0-rc3

Android NDK  r15c
