Well, I indeed found this to work, but my project has about 20000 c files.
Alin, forcing CC to a C++ compiler is not an option either, as I also have a
couple of libs which must be compiled with a C-ansi compiler.
I found that I could get the correct behaviour by modifying the value of
CMAKE_<LANG>_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS in the generated files
<build_dir>/CMakeFiles/Cmake{CC,CXX}Compiler.cmake
BUT:
These files are read when calling 'project()'. They set the initial value for
CMAKE_<LANG>_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS, which then seem to be used once for all by
cmake. Any later attempt to change them has no effect.
So, should these CMAKE_<LANG>_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS variables be considerered
as read-only?
Is this a bug?

Hello,
Try
SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES( file1.c file2.c file3.c PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX )
