This is combined from the following commits in the master branch: 443dfebced041adc88f10d824188eeef5b5821a9 6b117d3b1fe91eb26d533ab16a2e552f84148d47 5e34774c31d1b7509b5cb77a3be9973adec59ea0 Thanks to Iouri Kharon for the bug report, the original patch, and testing. --- CMakeLists.txt | 32 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index 21da948f..e5b4e5b5 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -75,10 +75,40 @@ project(xz VERSION "${XZ_VERSION}" LANGUAGES C) # On Apple OSes, don't build executables as bundles: set(CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE OFF) +# windres from GNU binutils can be tricky with command line arguments +# that contain spaces or other funny characters.
