# Triplet files
|
|
|
|
Triplet is a standard term used in cross compiling as a way to completely capture the target environment (cpu, os, compiler, runtime, etc) in a single convenient name.
|
|
|
|
In Vcpkg, we use triplets to describe self-consistent builds of library sets. This means every library will be built using the same target cpu, OS, and compiler toolchain, but also CRT linkage and preferred library type.
|
|
|
|
We currently provide many triplets by default (run `vcpkg help triplet`). However, you can easily add your own by creating a new file in the `triplets\` directory. The new triplet will immediately be available for use in commands, such as `vcpkg install boost:x86-windows-custom`.
|
|
|
|
To change the triplet used by your project, such as to enable static linking, see our [Integration Document](integration.md#triplet-selection).
|
|
|
|
## Variables
|
|
### VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE
|
|
Specifies the target machine architecture.
|
|
|
|
Valid options are `x86`, `x64`, and `arm`.
|
|
|
|
### VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE
|
|
Specifies the desired MSVCRT linkage.
|
|
|
|
Valid options are `dynamic` and `static`.
|
|
|
|
### VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE
|
|
Specifies the preferred library linkage.
|
|
|
|
Valid options are `dynamic` and `static`. Note that libraries can ignore this setting if they do not support the preferred linkage type.
|
|
|
|
### VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
|
|
Specifies the target platform.
|
|
|
|
Valid options are `WindowsStore` or empty. Empty corresponds to Windows Desktop and `WindowsStore` corresponds to UWP.
|
|
When setting this variable to `WindowsStore`, you must also set `VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION` to `10.0`.
|
|
|
|
### VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET
|
|
Specifies the C/C++ compiler toolchain to use.
|
|
|
|
This can be set to `v141`, `v140`, or left blank. If left blank, we select the latest compiler toolset available on your machine.
|
|
|
|
## Per-port customization
|
|
The CMake Macro `PORT` will be set when interpreting the triplet file and can be used to change settings (such as `VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE`) on a per-port basis.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cmake
|
|
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
|
|
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
|
|
if(PORT STREQUAL "qt5")
|
|
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE dynamic)
|
|
endif()
|
|
```
|
|
This will build `qt5` as DLLs against the dynamic CRT, but every other library as a static library (still against the dynamic CRT).
|
|
|
|
For an example in a real project, see https://github.com/Intelight/vcpkg/blob/master/triplets/x86-windows-mixed.cmake.
|
|
|
|
## Additional Remarks
|
|
The default triplet when running any vcpkg command is `%VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET%` or `x86-windows` if that environment variable is undefined.
|
|
|
|
We recommend using a systematic naming scheme when creating new triplets. The Android toolchain naming scheme is a good source of inspiration: https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html.
