[CMake] Adding "*.obj" geometry files...

[Daniel Dekkers]

Hi Brad,

Yes you are right. With the VS2010 generator, with HEADER_FILE_ONLY, the file "Item Type" is set to "C++/C header". So it works (I've tested it with CMake-2.8.9-rc1).

But it is still uncomfortable that with the VS2008 generator, the file is explicitly set as "Excluded From Build", complete with red stop sign icons in the IDE, while with VS2010, the files are not "Excluded From Build" but labeled as header only.

Isn't there a "CMake-way" that always results in "Excluded From Build" set, independent of the generator?

Thanks,
Daniel Dekkers
