如何在Mac上获取“ Visual Studio 2012” cmake生成器？

Question

For a CS class I'm taking, the C++ assignments need to be submitted as Visual Studio 2012 projects. I'd really rather not use Visual Studio, so I'm thinking about creating cmake projects instead, then generating Visual Studio project files using cmake. I know this is possible using cmake -G "Visual Studio 11" , but this only seems to work on Windows. When I run cmake on my computer, I get a list of generators, and the Visual Studio generators aren't listed. I know that the cmake website says that generators are platform specific, but is there some way to get these generators working on OS X?

Edit : For anyone coming across this question later, you should look into premake instead of messing with cmake. If you get premake 5, which is currently the development version, you can use it to generate Visual Studio 2012 files from Mac or Linux without needing to use Windows at all (on Windows you can generate Xcode projects without having to use OS X as well).

CMake需要调用Visual Studio编译器来检查编译器版本，因此我无法在OS X上找到它，这就是为什么它是特定于平台的。
