Summary

0015088: Ninja generator makes an invalid RC_COMPILER rule

Description

When the project() command is used without C language support as in project(myproj CXX), the ninja generator will create a rules.ninja file with an empty string where cmcldeps.exe should be. Something like the following:

    rule RC_COMPILER
      depfile = $DEP_FILE
      deps = gcc
      command = "" RC $in "$DEP_FILE" $out "Note: including file: " "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/VC/bin/cl.exe" c:\PROGRA~2\WI3CF2~1\8.1\bin\x86\rc.exe $FLAGS $DEFINES /fo$out $in
      description = Building RC object $out

Steps To Reproduce

The following patch will cause the MFC test to fail

diff --git a/Tests/MFC/CMakeLists.txt.in b/Tests/MFC/CMakeLists.txt.in
index e6bfabd..c1d0754 100644

macro(replace_flags var these those)
if("${${var}}" MATCHES "${these}")

Additional Information

This used to work in cmake 2.8.
