Summary0012881: \DYNAMICBASE and \NXCOMPAT don't work on Visual Studio 8 2005 builds
DescriptionCreating vcproj file for Visual Studio 8 2005. When adding linker flags \DYNAMICBASE and \NXCOMPAT

For instance by having this in the CMakeLists.txt file:
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG} /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE")

CMake is translating this to, DataExecutionPrevention="2" and RandomizedBaseAddress="2" something that Visual Studio 8 2005 don't understand and being ignored by the linker.

If I manually add \DYNAMICBASE and \NXCOMPAT to the AdditionalOptions parameter it works fine.
Steps To Reproduce1. Add
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG} /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE")
to the CMakeLists.txt in your project, make the vcproj file for Visual Studio 8 2005.
2. Check the vcproj file and noticed the DataExecutionPrevention="2" and RandomizedBaseAddress="2".
3. Build the file and see that the dll don't have these options sent to the linker.

The mappings for these flags to the IDE project file attributes were added in CMake 2.8.5:

  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=85163fba [^]

but apparently some are not understood by VS older than 2008.

Solving this will require the VS flag tables that map flags to IDE options:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx;hb=v2.8.7#l399 [^]
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx;hb=v2.8.7#l504 [^]

to be refactored such that they are populated based on the target IDE version.
