I have supported this feature, you can install and try it. https://github.com/tboox/xmake/releases/download/v2.2.2/xmake-v2.2.2.exe

$ xmake f --vs_toolset=14.0
$ xmake

xmake project do not generate a solution with right vs toolset

I have improved it, you can try it again. https://github.com/tboox/xmake/releases/download/v2.2.2/xmake-v2.2.3-dev.exe

$ xmake f --vs_toolset=14.1
$ xmake project -k vs2017

And It has support xp now.

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c") 

    -- compatible with xp
    add_defines("_USING_V140_SDK71_")
    add_ldflags("/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE,5.01")

Then we run:

$ xmake f --vs_toolset=14.0
$ xmake project -k vs2017

It will generate vcproj file with toolset: v140_xp
