Urho3D_lib post-build error on VS2012 with cmake_vs2012.bat about urho3d

[cadaver]

By using defaults (just running cmake_vs2012.bat) I cannot reproduce this on a Win8 / VS2012 Express setup. Also on another machine running Win7 / VS2010 Express, I'm not seeing vc100.pdb files as mentioned in the stackoverflow post.

Are you giving the cmake_vs2012.bat any CMake options?

[LuisAntonRebollo]

No CMake options, double click on cmake_vs2013.bat

In compiler command line i see this: /Fd"Urho3D_lib.dir\Debug\vc120.pdb"

I see /Fd"C:/Lasse/Urho3D/Build/Engine/Debug/Urho3D_d.pdb" instead, which looks like an option generated by CMake, overriding the default. What's your CMake version?

[LuisAntonRebollo]

CMake 2.8.12

From http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_2.8.12_Docs

PDB_NAME
       Output name for MS debug symbols .pdb file from linker.

       Set the base name for debug symbols file created for an executable or
       shared library target.  If not set, the logical target name is used by
       default.

       This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 generator.

  PDB_NAME_<CONFIG>
       Per-configuration name for MS debug symbols .pdb file.

       This is the configuration-specific version of PDB_NAME.

       This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 generator.

[cadaver]

It seems like they've broken the option, because now it's not setting the logical target name by default.

In CMake 2.8.11 the option still worked as expected.

As a temporary workaround I recommend either downgrading CMake or commenting out the command to copy the pdb.
