windres: No resources error, can't seem to fix.

Code

Opening C:\MinGW\CodeBlocks\Projects\winapi\winapi.cbp: done

As you can see, no spaces in that project name. I still get:

Code

-------------- Build: Debug in winapi ---------------
windres.exe -i C:\MinGW\CODEBL~1\Projects\winapi\dialogrc.rc -J rc -o obj\Debug\dialogrc.res -O coff -IC:\MinGW\include 
windres.exe: no resources
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings
 

Windows XP SP2, August 16th release. It just started doing this. I updated MinGW, too.

Try using a different version of windres.

windres --version

Note, I use GNU windres 2.17.50 20060824

windres is part of binutils

Same error for both versions.

I was encountering a similar error earlier today.  I'm using the technological preview of mingw, so my gcc file name was called, gcc-sjlj.exe / g++-sjlj.exe.  I created copies of these files, and renamed them to gcc.exe and g++.exe and that error went away.

I came across another error [unrelated], but I won't hijack your thread with that.

Solution found: Don't use more than one rc file.
