In our project, we are explicitly adding all the header files along with the source files to the respective build targets in order for them to show up in
CMake-generated Visual C++ projects.

Up to and including 2.8.7, this worked well as the Makefile generator simply ignored the header files, but starting with 2.8.8, this no longer seems to
be the case.

Which means?
Generated makefile tries to compile the header?
Yes, it compiles both .h and .o files as separate object files.

On which platform do you get that buggy behavior?
cmake version 2.8.8, on OS X 10.7, installed via MacPorts

Could you give us a strip down example of the problem
may be with one header and one C/C++ file?

Sorry, yes – this seems to be a fairly minimal test case (create some arbitrary test.c/test.h files to run):

---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

set(TEST_SRC test.c test.h)
set_source_files_properties(${TEST_SRC} PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX)

add_library(test ${TEST_SRC})
---

Oh well, RTFM (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#prop_sf:LANGUAGE): »Do not set this for header or files that should not be compiled.« I guess we have been relying on unspecified behavior all the time, then.

Anyway, thanks for your quick response,
David
