[CMake] CMake: C-code and Visual Studio 2005 problem.

[Andrew Maclean]

1) The extension of the source files is .c
2) Test COnly works Ok. It compiles and links Ok.

I am using the gpsbabel source files. If you like you can download them from
the gpsbabel site and I can send you my CMakeLists.txt file.

So, it could be that someone changed the settings in your VS installation so
that .c files are considered C++ and not C.  What is the extension of the
source
files you are compiling?   There is a test in cmake called Conly.  If you
build
from source, try building that project Tests/COnly.   It should be the c
compiler.
