# windres from GNU binutils can be tricky with command line arguments
# that contain spaces or other funny characters. Unfortunately we need
# a space in PACKAGE_NAME. Using \x20 to encode the US-ASCII space seems
# to work in both cmd.exe and /bin/sh.
#
# However, even \x20 isn't enough in all situations, resulting in
# "syntax error" from windres. Using --use-temp-file prevents windres
# from using popen() and this seems to fix the problem.
#
# llvm-windres claims to be compatible with GNU windres but with that
# the \x20 results in "XZx20Utils" in the compiled binary. (At the
# same time it works correctly with clang (the C compiler).) The option
# --use-temp-file makes no difference.
#
# CMake 3.25 doesn't have CMAKE_RC_COMPILER_ID so we rely on
# CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID. If Clang is used together with GNU windres
# then it will fail, but this way the risk of a bad string in
# the binary should be fairly low.

# with gcc too so we don't need to worry how to pass different flags
