Summary0015733: Linker EntryPoint inconsistency
DescriptionInconsistency occurs for Windows CE when creating a project for building an executable using Unicode. This causes build errors for builds using VS generator.

Because of portability reason to standard c code, console executables on CE use mainACRTStartup as entry point.

For Ninja Generator this linker flag is set properly (defined in Windows-MSVC.cmake line 39ff, applied in cmMakefileExecutableTargetGenerator.cxx 199ff) depending on system name - using CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE variable.

If VS2012 project is set as generator entry point is set to mainWCRTStartup (cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx line 2396ff).

From my point of view all generators should create same flags although VS build can be fixed using

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "/ENTRY:mainACRTStartup")

for WinCE in corresponding CMakeLists.txt.


An idea is instead of using a separate logic for determining entry point, stick to your CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE/CMAKE_CREATE_WIN32_EXE variables.
