Summary0011773: CMake ignore .RC files when cross building
DescriptionFor example:

ADD_LIBRARY(freetds-ct SHARED freetds-ct.def freetds-ct.rc
        blk.c
        cs.c
        ct.c
        ctutil.c)

If I compile on Windows, CMake can use freetds-ct.rc, but when I do a cross compile on Linux:

CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" LDFLAGS="-m64" RCFLAGS="-F pe-x86-64"\
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc

CMake ignore freetds-ct.rc silently.

Same here. Using following toolchain with cmake 2.8.4:

SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)

SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER i486-mingw32-gcc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER i486-mingw32-g++)
SET(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER i486-mingw32-windres)

SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /usr/i486-mingw32 /home/obey/mingw32 )

set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

Following happens:

...
[100%] Building RC object src/CMakeFiles/../qfrost.dir/__/res/win_icon.rc.res
/usr/bin/i486-mingw32-windres: '/foCMakeFiles/../qfrost.dir/__/res/win_icon.rc.res': No such file
/usr/bin/i486-mingw32-windres: can't open `/foCMakeFiles/../qfrost.dir/__/res/win_icon.rc.res' for input
...

upd: uh, probably this is not related to this bag. WTF is /foCMakeFiles?

Workaround for "/foCMakeFiles" bug.
Use attached patch ("fix_rc_support_workaround.patch") to file "/usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeRCInformation.cmake".

To fix original bug, need setup variable CMAKE_RC_COMPILER.

Monitor the related Duplicate bug for further information on when this gets fixed... It is presently under investigation.
