[CMake] How to Compile with -municode for MinGW-w64

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi R0b0t1,

add_definitions() is for adding preprocessor macro definitions (-D
options), not for general compilation options such as -m. You should set
the options as compilation options instead, using target_compile_options.
Also, -mwindows should probably not be passed directly; instead, use
CMake's built-in WIN32 argument in add_executable. Overall, it would look
like this:

include_directories (
  "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
)

add_executable (
  mtktool
  WIN32
  mtktool.c
)

target_compile_options(
  mtktool PRIVATE -municode
)
