Setting CMAKE_RC_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES triggers a `fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -ologo` in cmcldeps.exe call

The actual error message is now described in this comment:

Original issue description: CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is ignored by cmcldeps.exe

I'm currently working on a MSVC toolchain file. I set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and CMAKE_C_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/ATLMFC/include;C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/include;C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.19041.0/ucrt;C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.19041.0/shared;C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.19041.0/um;C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.19041.0/winrt;C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.19041.0/cppwinrt

These include the Windows Kits which containes windows.h.

However, when I try to compile Qt I get an error that windows.h is not found withhin a cmcldeps.exe call.

The includes from CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and CMAKE_C_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES don't appear in this call.

I can see that the resource compiler is also involved here, but I'm not sure how to read this call.

But it looks to me like the C++ compiler is called without CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.

Toolchain: The toolchain stuff I set is:

Additionall I set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and CMAKE_C_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and add some library paths via link_directories because of #18222 (closed).

Note: In normal MSVC call they are used and anything works as expected:

Windows Resource (.rc) files are compiled as the RC language. Try setting CMAKE_RC_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.

I had already tried CMAKE_RC_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, but apparently did not read the error message carefully.

It turns out that with this comes a parameter error instead:

fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -ologo

It is very strange that -ologo from the error message does not appear in the call at all. (I have set the parallel build to 1. On the second call, only this one call is executed. So the message definitely belongs to this call).

changed title from {-CMAKE_-}_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is ignored by cmcldeps.exe to Setting CMAKE_RC_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES {+triggers a fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -ologo in+} cmcldeps.exe call

changed the description

It's seams to be an issue with the rc compiler. If I call it with:

rc  /nologo -nologo

It prints:

fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -ologo

The call in my error message includes:

[...] /nologo -c65001 -DWIN32 -nologo /fo [...]

I belive that this double nologo triggers the strange error.

mentioned in merge request !8541 (merged)

MR !8541 (merged) does fix the problem by deduplicating the nologo argument.
