This step is broken in KiCad's CMAKE files at all. There is a script
in CMake which is looking for RC compiler, but it is currently broken
and cannot find windres.exe. There is a patch in their bug repository
(http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7235) which helps with
that. I promised myself that I will publish patch for KiCad's CMAKE
files, but currently I do not trust my own changes - it compiles under
Windows but I do not know is it stable under Linux.

Please consider putting this manual into Wiki.
