Resource error

[Marc van Cauwenberghe]

Hi all,

I have an 'Error creating Resource (RES) file'. I have attached the rc file.
Does anyone see something wrong?
How do you go about finding the error?

Regards,
Marc

Hello,
I have now removed all references to images.

My resource file:

Code Select Expand

#include "resource.h"

#define FIREFLY_RESOURCE   1


// Manifest info for WinXP theme support
1 24 "CODEGEN_GGSCH.Exe.Manifest"

Same error

At least you could say which error are you getting. We can't reproduce it without having "CODEGEN_GGSCH.Exe.Manifest".

This is what I get, see attachment:

The manifest:

Code Select Expand

It compiles fine in my computer, using the resource compiler 6.1.

[Paul Squires]

Try this:

Close/exit FF
Delete all CODEGEN*.* in the Release folder
Restart FF
Compile

Does that fix it? Sometimes this works for me in the rare case that I get resource compile problems.

Update:

Even creating a new progect and compiling it gives me the same error.
I finally set the RC INclude file path to Jose's includes and now it worked.

Strange.

[José Roca]

It's not strange. The resource compiler needs to access resource.h and other related .h includes. If it is not in the path, it wouln't find it and fail.
