CMake, Qt 4.2.1 and application icons
I've just started using CMake to build Qt 4 applications on Windows. The problem is that I cannot get the application icon into place. I've used the RC_FILE variable for this in QMake. Does anyone know how to do it with CMake?

Are you building with mingw? CMakeurrently not generates needed actions in Makefile to compile and link resource file
Here is what we do in sim-im(http://sim-im.org) to deal with this:
if(MINGW)
# resource compilation for mingw
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/sim_rc.o
COMMAND windres.exe -I${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
-i${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sim.rc
-o ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/sim_rc.o)
SET(sim_EXE_SRCS ${sim_EXE_SRCS} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/sim_rc.o)
else(MINGW)
SET(sim_EXE_SRCS ${sim_EXE_SRCS} sim.rc)
endif(MINGW)
Thanks for the tip - I'll try it right away!
Nice features!
I have made a macro to ease the integration of *.ico in the application.
