Summary

0011891: Visual Studio 2010 Generator adds .obj as "not part of this build" to projects

Description

When you add .obj files that already exist and want to add them
to the executable or library sources, the Visual Studio 2010 Generator
add the file to the Project but it is marked as "not part of this build"
and not linked with the executable or library.

If you look in the .vxproj file is says..:
...
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Include="C:/Users/Test/Projects/CMake2010Bug/stack.obj" />
  </ItemGroup>
...

Instead it should read:
  <ItemGroup>
    <Object Include="C:/Users/Test/Projects/CMake2010Bug/stack.obj" />
  </ItemGroup>

Steps To Reproduce

1) Use the following CMakeLists.txt:
------------------------------------
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(testProj CXX)
add_executable(test main.cpp stack.obj)
# the following doesn't seem to affect anything, at least with VS2010 Generator
set_source_files_properties( stack.obj PROPERTIES EXTERNAL_OBJECT TRUE )
-------------------------------------

with simple main.cpp and any .obj file,

2) run cmake with Visual Studio 2010 Generator
3) Open solution -> stack.obj is added as "Not part of this build"
and the object file is not linked with the executable or library

Notes
(0026002) Bill Hoffman (manager) 2011-03-31 18:08	The odd thing is that our test for this is passing. Something must be wrong with the test... It is called ExternalObj, it builds a .o with a try-compile, then uses that as part of the main project. For some reason it works. But the example in the bug that is a duplicate of this one does not...
