[CMake] Problem with linker on win32

[uruloki at free.fr]

Hello

We are using PCCTS compiler to build a parser for config files.  *.o files are the results of the language definition. 
I have not integrated this part of the build in CMake yet so i'm just linking with .o files built with the previous production toolchain. Those files are linked in the dll.

Here is the problem i'm referring to when the executable is linked:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can see make uses CL to link and build the executable, and it fails.
Could it be because of the file extension we are using for c++ file?  soureces are hxx and cxx files.

Thank you for your support

What is the error output?

How are the *.o files that are in your source tree built?
