Why is CMake ignoring assembly files when building static library?

I've set

set(CAN_USE_ASSEMBLER TRUE)

And it's not helping at all. I'm trying to create a static library with a command like:

add_library(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} STATIC
            ../PropWare ../spi ../spi_as.S ../sd)

where the files without extensions are C++ or C files and the .S file is assembly. But when I run cmake and make, it compiles the C/C++ sources and just ignores the assembly file... no warnings, no errors... just skips right over it.

I'd love any ideas. Full source is available on github (do note: this link is to the cmake branch, all others should be ignored). The first line is in this file and the second line is in this file.

  • Note that you can enable ASM in the project() command too. For example:

    project(abc
        LANGUAGES C CXX ASM)
