We have an object file generated (into kdeedu/kalzium/src/solver/) with ocalm 
program.
We generate directly a obj file.
After we must add this object file when we will create binary kalzium.


For the moment I try to use :

set_source_files_properties (
  eqresult.cpp PROPERTIES
  OBJECT_DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/solver.o
  )

For the moment it's not perfect.

ocalm doesn't generate a lib but just an object file
