Hi

Are there known problems using CMake with Borland C++ BuilderX?  The
compiler is just another version of Borland's standard compiler (the
command-line options are the same as the free Borland tools and also
BCB5/6).  I'm having troubles compiling a package called wxArt2D
(http://wxart2d.sf.net) which uses CMake.  The generated makefiles seem
to be missing some things.  It generates lines like this:

#---------------------------------------------------------
# object file
#

wx.res: c:\wxWindows\include\wx\msw\wx.rc

ARGS=

There's a dependency there but no line specifying how to compile the
resource.  Also it generates link lines using bcc32.exe (rather than
ilink32.exe) and passes in everything: all .obj files and .res (compiled
resource) files.  bcc32 doesn't like this as it thinks that the .res
file is a source file and tries to compile it.  Are these problems with
the wxArt2D package CMake configuration files, or is this a CMake
problem?  The plaform file doesn't seem to include a line specifying
CMAKE_COMPILE_RESOURCE..

thanks
