Cross-compiling a Windows binary with OpenMP parallelization

The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-13/recipe-02 and has a C++ and Fortran example. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.9 (and higher) and has been tested on GNU/Linux.

In this recipe, we will apply what we have learned in the previous recipe, albeit to a more interesting and realistic example: we will cross-compile a Windows binary which is parallelized using OpenMP.

Getting ready

We will use the unmodified source code from Chapter 3, Detecting External Libraries and Programs, Recipe 5, Detecting the OpenMP parallel environment. The example code sums up all natural numbers up to N (example.cpp...
