<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to convince CMake to perform what should
be a simple task - to call the resource compiler on a .rc file to generate a
.res file that the linker can link into the target program. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yet, I can't convince CMake to generate a .vcproj
file that represents this. In particular, I find myself arguing with CMake
over whether a .rc file is really source or not (There seems to be a hardcoded
list of what is a source file or not, ie ".cxx,.c,.cpp,...in". The SOURCE_GROUP
command may be intended to override this, but it has only 4 lines (46 words) of
documentation!, so I can't really tell). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually, my task is slightly more complex, not
that it matters since I can't get CMake to represent the first step. I'm
actually using the message compiler to generate the .rc files, which I then call
the resource compiler on to generate the .res files, which then get linked into
a library. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd offer more details, but I figure that this is
the sort of thing that someone might have figured out already. Has anyone,
or should I start posting what I've figure out so far?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've read all the docs at the
www.cmake.org site. If anyone else has documentation or examples,
I'd welcome that. </FONT></DIV>
