In commit v3.6.0-rc1~174^2 (Ninja: Honor CMAKE_NINJA_FORCE_RESPONSE_FILE
for compile rules, 2016-04-06), Ninja learned to look for
`CMAKE_NINJA_FORCE_RESPONSE_FILE` in the current scope or the
environment in order to force response file usage for all compilation
rules.

However, on Windows, the RC compiler goes through cmcldeps which does a
`replace(output, output + ".dep.obj")` on the command line. However,
with a response file (which we name `output + ".rsp"`), the response
file path is replaced instead causing the compiler to (correctly)
complain that the response file `output + ".dep.obj.rsp"` does not
exist.

What needs to happen is for cmcldeps to look through the response file,
replace *its* contents and place it in the `output + ".dep.obj.rsp"`
file.

Also add a test which actually compiles an RC file into a library and
executable for all generators on Windows and additionally test
`CMAKE_NINJA_FORCE_RESPONSE_FILE` for Ninja generators.

Fixes #16167.

CMake

Introduction

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system generator. For full documentation visit the CMake Home Page and the CMake Documentation Page.

CMake is maintained and supported by Kitware and developed in collaboration with a productive community of contributors.

License

CMake is distributed under the OSI-approved BSD 3-clause License. See Copyright.txt for details.

Building CMake

Supported Platforms

MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX

Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it should not be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Subscribe and post to the CMake Users List to ask if others have had experience with the platform.

Building CMake from Scratch

UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin

You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. In summary:

$ ./bootstrap && make && make install

Windows

You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from the CMake Download Page . Then proceed with the instructions below.

Building CMake with CMake

You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see documentation on Running CMake.

Reporting Bugs

If you have found a bug:

  1. If you have a patch, please read the CONTRIBUTING.rst document.
  2. Otherwise, please join the CMake Users List and ask about the expected and observed behaviors to determine if it is really a bug.
  3. Finally, if the issue is not resolved by the above steps, open an entry in the CMake Issue Tracker.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.rst for instructions to contribute.
