I am having trouble getting cmake to build asm files on windows in a MSVC 2022 terminal. I am building a shared library that has both asm and c source code. The CMakeList.txt builds both the c and asm objects just fine on linux, but only attempts to build the c sources on windows. I am using yasm for the assembler. yasm is in the path. Is this a bug in cmake or incorrect usage?
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.18 )
project(libav)
enable_language( C ASM )
set(CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER yasm)
SET(CMAKE_ASM_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS asm)
SET(CMAKE_ASM_OUTPUT_EXTENSION ".obj" )
set(CMAKE_ASM_COMPILE_OBJECT "<CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER> -f win64 -m amd64 -DPIC -D ARCH_X86_64=1 -DARCH_X86_32=0 -DHAVE_CPUNOP=1 -dHAVE_ALIGNED_STACK=1 -DHAVE_AVX_EXTERNAL=1 -DEXTERN_ASM -i ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} -o <OBJECT> <SOURCE>")
set(VERSION 1.0.0)
set(DESCRIPTION "libav fft only")
add_library(libav SHARED libavcodec/avfft.c libavcodec/x86/fft.asm libavutil/x86/cpuid.asm)
set_target_properties(libav PROPERTIES VERSION 1.0.0)
target_include_directories(libav PRIVATE . compat/atomics/win32 ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
file(COPY config.h DESTINATION .)
