Summary0015115: WindowsCE: /SUBSYSTEM and /ENTRYPOINT does not end up in the generated Visual Studio project
DescriptionIf CMake is used for WEC2013 the file Windows-MSVC.cmake [1] sets the linker flags /subsystem and /entry.

However these variables never end up in the generated visual studio solution.
My obesrvation is that the subsystem gets always overriden by cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx [2].

[1] https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/1f8cfc3b5f4bd87216e48c6bf909b59f10b9065e/Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake#L39 [^]
[2] https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/8c30014982345567b80ec0dad6bd9eb40dfda505/Source/cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx#L1981 [^]
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a toolchain file with the following content:

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME "WindowsCE")
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION "8.0")
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR "arm" )
set(CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET "CE800")

2. Generate a Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 solution.

Expected result:
the XML tags <Subsystem> and <EntryPointSymbol> are set to the values given in Windows-MSVC.cmake

Actual Result:
the values are to ones hardcoded in cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx
Additional Information
TagsNo tags attached.
