Title: error trouble creating resource file
Post by: Paul Breen on March 30, 2005, 07:06:00 AM
I must have screwed something up. Just compiling the samples I get the message "error creating res file" but this happens even if there are no resouces involved, just a form and a button for example. I used the browse button to check the path to the rc.exe
What next?

Maybe the path to the resource compiler include files may be wrong? Not sure. The path needs to be where the resource.h file is located.

Maybe you can try compiling the sample project's .rc file with the PowerBASIC Editor which may shine more light on the nature of the error.

Works fine again. It was the path to the resource compiler includes that was the problem. I did it right the first time but recently I lost all entries in the compiler defaults screen.
thanks,

That's good news. In the new/next version of FireFly there is a warning displayed if the include path does not point to the resource.h file.
