Wl,--stack,4194304 error Visual Studio/CMake

Question

So I have built an open source project Using CMake and opened it in Visual Studio but I get this error:

Command line error D8021: invalid numeric argument '/Wl,--stack,4194304'

My CMakeLists.txt that has this:

if(WIN32) set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wl,--stack,4194304 -fpermissive") endif()

I am not sure what is this or how it can be fixed. Any help is appreciated

You are giving your Visual Studio compiler switches that are intended for GCC.

if (WIN32)
  if ("${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID}" STREQUAL "GNU")
     set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wl,--stack,4194304 -fpermissive")
  elseif(MSVC)
    # add options for Visual C/C++ Compiler here
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /F 4194304")
  endif()
endif()

See also In cmake, how can I test if the compiler is Clang? how to reliable identify your compiler.

For the permissive flag please see Visual Studio (2015) fpermissive equivalent flag .

Edit: Added more reliable compiler check for GCC according to discussion.

So no equivalent for it for MSVC? – Joe Robert Mar 29 '18 at 08:02
There is one. Just added it to the example. – vre Mar 29 '18 at 08:08
Any idea why I keep getting Command line error D8004: '/W' requires an argument ? – Joe Robert Mar 29 '18 at 08:12
Then please try `"${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID}" STREQUAL "GNU"` instead of `CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC`. – vre Mar 29 '18 at 08:18
