[CMake] Bug? Broken header files in Visual C++ 2008 project

[Thomas T.]

Hi John,

Your example hinted me to the problem!

Removing source_group did not help, but since your example is quite 
similar to what I do except that you pass the headers separately, I 
reasoned the problem was probably the line 
set_source_file_properties(...) that I applied for all .cpp and .h 
files. Now that I split .cpp and .h files into two separate variables 
SOURCES and HEADERS variables, and only apply 
set_source_file_properties() to SOURCES, the problem vanished!

Great, thanks for your immediate help!

Cheers,
Thomas
