Summary0012480: Cmake used invalid path to rc file.
DescriptionAt compiler MinGW usage at compilation of rc-files cmake uses a wrong way at which always there is a substring "/foCMakeFiles".

It arises because of usage in a file "/usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeRCInformation.cmake" parameters for the rc-compiler from Microsoft Visual Studio which isn't compatible with windres from MinGW.

For the problem resolution it is possible to use a patch "fix_rc_support_workaround.patch".

Modules/Platform/Windows-windres.cmake contains this line:

  SET(CMAKE_RC_COMPILE_OBJECT "<CMAKE_RC_COMPILER> -O coff <FLAGS> <DEFINES> <SOURCE> <OBJECT>")

Why is that not sufficient?

Is there a Linux windres? Do we also need a Linux-windres.cmake file, or is the Windows one supposed to be included in this scenario?

Alternatively, if your situation is unique in some way, you could provide this rule in a user rules override file...

I am using cross compiling in openSUSE with MinGW.

The detailed analysis has shown has shown that the initiating patch was not absolutely true.

In MinGW windres can be named on a miscellaneous. On it the code:
INCLUDE(Platform/${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}-${CMAKE_BASE_NAME} OPTIONAL) in file CMakeRCInformation.cmake can work not correctly, trying to include, for example "Platform/Windows-i686-w64-mingw32-windres".


Condition adding will be the correct fix:
IF("${CMAKE_BASE_NAME}" MATCHES "windres")
  SET(CMAKE_BASE_NAME "windres")
ENDIF("${CMAKE_BASE_NAME}" MATCHES "windres")
After a line "GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(CMAKE_BASE_NAME ${CMAKE_RC_COMPILER} NAME_WE)".
