Summary0010194: setting CMAKE_RC_FLAGS has no affect on rc flags
DescriptionModifying CMAKE_RC_FLAGS does not actually add any flags to resource compilation. I've tried the following:

/D MY_FLAG
/DMY_FLAG
-D MY_FLAG
-DMY_FLAG

This is also broken in CMake 2.6.4.

I'm using the VS 2009 32 bit generator on XP-64.

It's still broken and I need the possibility to add a flag to RC compiler.

I need to change the "Culture" parameter from "VCResourceCompilerTool" section in VC++ (2005, 2008 and 2010) and set it to French, but I didn't find any way to do that with CMake :(

That's still set to compiler default "English".

The parameter used for resource compiler is "/l xxxx" (lowercase L) followed by the language code.

Only allowing to use : SET(CMAKE_RC_FLAGS "/l 1036") in CMakeLists.txt should be enough for me :)

Please could you implement it ?

Thanks a lot !

This was fixed here:

 VS: Fix handling of non-preprocessor flags in CMAKE_RC_FLAGS
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=5d873846 [^]

and will be in the 3.1 release.
