I am trying to compile for Linux (with Generator Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja) but when I am checking for ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} in CMakeLists.txt, all I get is blank.

In which scenarios is using this variable valid?

Using cmake 3.02 from Debian Testing.

You need to place CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME after project command:

message("CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME: ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}") project(Foo) message("CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME: ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}")

Result:

CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME: -- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.1 ... -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME: Linux

I have the same issue, and work it out.

All i want to do is cross compile on Linux server with aarch64-himix100-linux, and compile with the default toolchain on Darwin system.

I use CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME instead of CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME.

The value of CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME is equal to the output of uname -s.

For example,

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8) if (NOT ${CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Darwin") set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Toolchain-aarch64-himix100-linux.cmake") endif () project(phoenix)
