Description Daniel 2017-03-21 13:12:03 UTC

This problem is similar to https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3496, only in my case it occurs mid-build, and not at the end. Therefore, it might have a different reason and I am reporting it here anyway.

When building SDL 2.0.5 with CMake on Windows and reaching the file

    [ 50%] Building RC object CMakeFiles/SDL2.dir/src/main/windows/version.rc.res

the build process stops with the message:

    fatal error RC1203: invalid language ID or language name specified.

This error did not occur when building version 2.0.4 and occurs both with MSVC 9 and MSVC 14,

According to the MSVC documentation, the error can be solved by passing a correct /l flag: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5aw3x6s8.aspx, but I have no clue how to pass this to the CMake file that comes packaged with SDL2.0.5.

Here is the relevant output of my build operation:

Comment 1 tschwinger 2017-05-14 16:53:01 UTC

This is caused by `add_definitions(/GS-)` in `CMakeLists.txt`.

The "definitions" specified with that command are (global for once and) really just for defines, as they affect other tools that may be interested in them, as the resource compiler.

As a consequence, `rc.exe` chokes on an option that's intended for `cl.exe` *only*.

Fixes this issue

Attached patch adds the troublesome compiler option as a directory property, which very similar to what `add_definitions` does, except without affecting tools other than the compiler.
