Vcpkg: Building freetype:arm-uwp fails [fixed by cmake 3.9+]

[pdehne]

I'm trying to build freetype:arm-uwp v2.8 on Windows 10, de-de locale, using VS 2017. The build fails just before linking with the following error in package-arm-uwp-rel-out.log:

unrecognized file format in 'C:/Users/patrick.SPRINGFIELD/Documents/development/vcpkg/buildtrees/freetype/arm-uwp-rel/freetype.dir/Release/autofit.obj'

x86-uwp and x64-uwp are building without problems. package-arm-uwp-rel-err.log is empty.

Here is the complete build log:
package-arm-uwp-rel-out.log.txt

You should use CMake with version >3.8.2. Easiest way to workaround it is download it from cmake.org and make in-place replace in folder <vcpkg_root>\downloads\cmake...

Many thanks! In-place replace of cmake 3.8.0 with 3.9.0-rc3 fixed building freetype for arm-uwp.

We'll definitely update to 3.9.0 as soon as the main release comes out. Thanks for providing the current workaround, @zabulus!
