Hi all, I'm cross-compiling from Linux to Windows using clang-cl and the Windows SDK (i.e. emulating an MSVC environment), and I'm attempting to use llvm-rc (which is new in LLVM 6.0) as the resource compiler. cmake automatically enables the RC language for MSVC. However, it also sets `CMAKE_NINJA_CMCLDEPS_RC` to 1, which causes the ninja generator to require cmcldeps, but that program is only built on Windows.
I've only looked at cmcldeps briefly, but it seems to have a bunch of Windows- specific code, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to build it for other platforms. I'm also not really sure what cmcldeps does or how necessary it is for a cross-compilation scenario, however. In particular, the RC files I'm attempting to compile are quite simple and don't contain any `#include`s. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get around the cmcldeps requirement, since the Windows-MSVC platform sets CMAKE_NINJA_CMCLDEPS_RC unconditionally. I've worked around it temporarily by disabling resource file usage on non-Windows build hosts, but I'd like to be able to use llvm-rc eventually. What's the best path forward here?
