 rules.ninja:

rule RC_COMPILER__Application
  depfile = $DEP_FILE
  deps = gcc
  command = "" RC $in "$DEP_FILE" $out "" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/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


Is "deps = gcc" correct? Compiler is MSVC. If I change it to msvc it is still broken.


It looks like this:

 Ok, I found the problem.

http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;f=Modules/CMakeClDeps.cmake [^]

It will check and use CMAKE_C_COMPILER only. But there is no CMAKE_C_COMPILER for a CXX project. If I change it here in CMakeClDeps to CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER it works!
Of course... it must work for both. ;-)
