DLL compile error: no resources

[Sebastian Roll]

Hi all!

I try to produce a DLL from raknet sourcecode (raknet is a free multiplayer lib).
The only error I get is:

Windres.exe: no resources

I attached the resource .h/.res files in any place in C::B project-config I could found.
I get same error on compiling after using the Import-Wizard for Visula Studio 6.0 and .Net projects, which are provided by raknet.
Any ideas what to do?

cu, Sebastian Roll

Doesn't Windres.exe only work with .rc files?? NOT .res?

[tiwag]

you need to add the proper directory in
Project->Build options->Directories->Resource compiler

[Sebastian Roll]

Thx for response.

Yes, You are right. It's a .rc file.

I have added the directory to Project->Build options->Directories->Resource compiler
Same error, though.

here are the file contents:

DLL.rc:

Code

you may need to edit your resource file in order to get out all the VS crap

post your project (only sorce code and project files) as zip-file here

[Sebastian Roll]

You are very kind, tiwag. I will do that in aprox. 5 hours (my boss gets around).

I get same error on compiling after using the Import-Wizard for Visula Studio 6.0 and .Net projects, which are provided by raknet.

I have imported in C::B the .NET solution and with some small modifications of some projects got it to work. You can search for my posts (two I think), by using advanced search with "Import solution" and my name "Michael".

Best wishes,
Michael

Ok, I managed to compile the raknet DLL.
Like tiwag said, You have to throw some Visual Studio generated crap in file "resource.rc" away.

Here is the new file content:

Code

#include "resource.h"

1 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "resource.h\0"
END

2 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "#include ""afxres.h""\r\n"
    "\0"
END

3 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "\r\n"
    "\0"
END

Problem is solved.
Error message "Windres.exe: no resources" no longer exists.
Thank You all.
