Re: [CMake] working around rc.exe too many -I# options
Whoops, forgot to follow up on this.

Not sure if you could just include a *.res file (output from rc) as a source in an add_library or add_executable call, though. This strategy does work. Adding the generated .res file to the list of sources handed to add_executable/add_library results in proper version info baked into the .exe/.dll. Thanks for the hint, David! tyler I am trying to add Windows versioning information to my project. I am using CMake 2.6.2 and VS2005.

[CMake] working around rc.exe too many -I# options
I am trying to add Windows versioning information to my project. I am using CMake 2.6.2 and VS2005. I have crafted a version.rc file which I use with all my libraries and executables. This is working well except for one library which has 94 include directories, one greater than the 93 directory limit (lol) imposed by rc.exe, the Windows resource compiler.

Has anyone hacked around this problem? One thing that might work would be to alter the include directories used by the version.rc file (it obviously doesn't need all those headers; it just needs to be able to find and #include the two version-related headers). Unfortunately, the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property is only available at the directory level so I don't see a way to say, all these .cpp files use these include dirs; this .rc file uses these other include dirs.

Has anyone hacked around this problem? I have this in my main project. No, I have not found a good solution. I should have reported this months ago. Since I was busy at the time I just disabled the .rc and I have no icon.. John M.

Re: [CMake] working around rc.exe too many -I# options
One easy way to hack around this problem would be to use add_custom_command to invoke the rc.exe directly... Not sure if you could just include a *.res file (output from rc) as a source in an add_library or add_executable call, though.
