[CMake] Windows .rc resource files in Fortran projects?

Discussion:

Hi,

In some of my Fortran projects I have Windows resource files of type .rc associated. Just listing this file along with the other Fortran source files doesn't work.
In this case the project is interpreted as a C/C++ project. How can I get cmake to treat the .rc file correctly (compiled by the resource compiler) and at the same
time interpret the project as a Fortran project?

Thanks in advance for any reply?

Hi,

how does the project command looks inside your CMakeLists.txt file?

project(<name> LANGUAGES Fortran) should work

Cheers Volker

Hi Magne,

it looks like this is a common issue with fortran projects.

See
https://www.reddit.com/r/cmake/comments/5tzziu/building_fortran_application_with_resources/
for a solution.

Cheers, Volker

Hi Volker,
Thanks for your reply! I now have these lines in the top of my CMakeLists.txt file.
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)
PROJECT(ALICE LANGUAGES C CXX Fortran RC)
INCLUDE("${ALICE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_conf/ALICE.cmake")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALCEL3_BEREGN")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALCEL3_DISPLAY_PROTO")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALCEL3_INPUT")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALCEL3_OUTPUT")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALCEL3_PROTO_PRINT")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALFLU_MESH")
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY("ALFLU_MESH_NEW")
I get exactly the same behaviour, the Fortran projects that has a .rc file associated are interpreted as a C/CXX project. Once I remove this it is interpreted correctly as a Fortran project.

Hi Magne,
AFAIK C and CXX are enabled by default if you do not specify a LANGUAGES
argument in the project command. You only **added** a language with
ENABLE_LANGUAGE.
BTW, you should move the cmake_minimum_required command to the top of
the file as it influences the setup inside of the project command.
Cheers, Volker

Hi Volker,
PROJECT(ALICE)
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)
ENABLE_LANGUAGE(Fortran)
Isn't this equivalent to what you wrote? If I remove the .rc file from the list of files. The project becomes a Fortran project again. But, then the .rc file is ignored, and that is not what I want.

Hi Volker,

Thanks for the tip I'll try this and report back.
