[Cmake] (Cmake 1.6.4)+(bcc32 5.5.1)+(.rc file)=problem

[Oleg Kagan]

Hi...
I am trying to use cmake to build simple project under Borland C++ Free
compiler.
It looks like support for resource files is broken, or maybe I doing
something wrong...
May anybody help with this problem?

The only solution I found is to add

SET(CMAKE_COMPILE_RESOURCE "cmd /c ok.cmd <OBJECT> <FLAGS> /fo<OBJECT>
<SOURCE>")

where ok.cmd is

	@echo off
	brc32 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
	move /y %1 rc_%1
	echo #pragma resource "rc_%1" > %1

Problem here is that you can't have resource filename the same as any of
c/cpp files (e.g. testrc.cpp and testrc.rc)

Here is initial project

************* CMakeLists.txt:

PROJECT(testrc)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(testrc testrc.cpp testrc0.rc)

************* testrc.cpp:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    MessageBox(NULL,"Hello, world!", "testrc.exe",MB_OK | MB_SYSTEMMODAL);
}

************* testrc0.rc

#define VERSIONINFO_1	1

VERSIONINFO_1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
FILEOS VOS_DOS_WINDOWS16
FILETYPE VFT_APP
{
 BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
 {
  BLOCK "040904E4"
  {
   VALUE "CompanyName", "My Company\000\000"
   VALUE "FileDescription", "Description from .def file here\000"
   VALUE "FileVersion", "1.00\000\000"
   VALUE "InternalName", "Application name\000"
   VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (c) My Company 1993\000\000"
   VALUE "OriginalFilename", ".exe file name here\000"
  }

 }

 BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
 {
  VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1252
 }

}

Output:
