cmake/MSYS2: TARGET_PDB_FILE with "Unix Makefiles" cmake generator

[bit2shift]

An obvious feature of VC++ is being checked when the chosen generator clearly states NOT M$. The invocation goes like: cd dep/glew/build && cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" cmake. It's followed by make -C dep/glew/build glew_s in order to compile just the static lib. These are invocated from a makefile (as if it really matters). This occurs on MSYS2.

I give this a try with MSYS2. It does look like the cmake needs to support this better.

$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" cmake .

CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.5.2/Modules/Platform/MSYS.cmake:15 (message):
  CMake no longer defines WIN32 on MSYS!

  (1) If you are just trying to build this project, ignore this warning or
  quiet it by setting CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=0 in your environment or in
  the CMake cache.  If later configuration or build errors occur then this
  project may have been written under the assumption that MSYS is WIN32.  In
  that case, set CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=1 instead.

  (2) If you are developing this project, add the line

    set(CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32 0) # Remove when CMake >= 2.8.4 is required

  at the top of your top-level CMakeLists.txt file or set the minimum
  required version of CMake to 2.8.4 or higher.  Then teach your project to
  build on Cygwin without WIN32.

For what it's worth, the native make also seems to have issues for MSYS2:

Although for the particular case I'm looking for, I could make a PR with finer control over make glew.lib by adding two child targets of glew.lib, namely glew.lib.shared and glew.lib.static:

glew.lib: glew.lib.shared glew.lib.static
glew.lib.shared: lib lib/$(LIB.SHARED) glew.pc
glew.lib.static: lib lib/$(LIB.STATIC) glew.pc

[nigels-com]

Sure, I'd seriously consider that.

[bit2shift]

I'll work on it right away. In my scenario, with MSYS2, I'm just doing make extensions glew.lib.

[nigels-com]

Commenting out this line in config/Makefile.msys seems helpful. The idea is that glew32.dll doesn't not depend on the C library. But glewinfo and visualinfo need that.

LDFLAGS.EXTRA += -nostdlib

[nigels-com]

Two things to try here:

• LDFLAGS.SO += -nostdlib rather than LDFLAGS.EXTRA
• Something similar for cmake (which is not supported 1st class, BTW)
