resource compiler error

[Wilko Verweij]

Hi,
I get an error I'm pretty sure was discussed before but I cannot find it. I picked up an old project (2009) which I succesfully converted to FF3 at that time (with PB9). I still have FF 3.1 and PB9. When I compile, I receive an error message because PBRES crashes without specific error information. Afterwards I receive an empty "Compile Results" balloon. What am I doing wrong? I remember all the graphic files (for toolbar, menu and program) should be in the release folder and that's where they are. So it must be something else. Any suggestions?

This is a strange error and it used to happen to me from time to time. If I remember correctly, I used to delete all of the code generation files CODEGEN_*.* and then restart FF and try compiling again. Most of the time I think that worked.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your fast response. I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. More suggestions, anyone?

Check the contents of the .rc file. There must something wrong in it.

You may get more of an answer if you open the only ...Main.bas codgen file in PB Edit and compile from there.

Check the contents of the .rc file. There must something wrong in it.

I tried to compile the .res file to a .pbr (from a DOS-box) and that worked fine, strange enough. So I guess it must be something else...

[José Roca]

And for what you need a .pbr file? PB10 uses .res files directly.

FF3.5 uses the .res directly... the older 3.1 is what Wilko is using.

That's correct. I tried to compile the .res file to see if something was wrong with the .rc or .res. Apparently that's not the case.
