Summary0014967: VS 2005 Generator for OBJECT target create name.rc.res object but the compiler generates name.res files
DescriptionWhen I add an OBJECT target with an .rc file, the VS2005 generator adds the following in the .vcproj file:

<File RelativePath="something\BuildDLL.rc">
  <FileConfiguration Name="Debug|Win32">
    <Tool
       Name="VCResourceCompilerTool"
       ObjectFile="$(IntDir)/BuildDLL.rc.res"
     />

However, when building this target in VS, BuildDLL.rc is compiled into BuildDLL.res, so build fails because it can't find BuildDLL.rc.res.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create an OBJECT target with a resource file, ie name.rc.
2) Generate a solution with VS2005 geneartor.
3) Build.

It looks like resource files are not supported in OBJECT libraries in general. I just tried with the VS 12 2013 generator and it expects name.obj instead of name.res.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, please provide an example CMakeLists.txt snippet producing the behavior you report.
