I'm sure I'm somehow missing the forest for the trees, but...
I can't compile any of my FF projects. When I do, the "Generating WinMain Source Code" dialog stays displayed for a very long time, then the compile fails with a resource file error. I dug into it a bit and determined that the creation of the .RES file is failing (the file is 0 bytes). I tried compiling the .RES file by hand with this:
c:\pbwin10\bin\rc /i c:\pbwin10\winapi codegen_mrputil_resource.rc
And it generated the .RES file OK. I could then load the 'main' code into the PB environment and compile it.
My (un)educated guess is that when RC is being invoked by FF, it is losing the "/i" switch, and can't find "resource.h". I've double checked the environment settings for FF, but everything looks normal.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
That's strange. Your Environment setting for "RC Include Path" reads "c:\pbwin10\winapi", right?
Try manually deleting all of the CODEGEN*.* files, restart FireFly, and compile. Sometimes that works when strange compile things happen.
Oh, I feel so dopey. The number one rule of trouble shooting a new problem: "What did you change last"?
All our projects are stored on the server, which got a new AV program (GFI Vipre) over the holiday. When I set the AV to ignore our projects folder, the problem went away.
