invalid win32 rc file

[MoonKid]

I imported a MSVisualC++ project and try to build it.

There is a build log say this:
-------------- Build: Debug_Win32 in M ---------------
Compiling: res\M.rc
Option -I is deprecated for setting the input format, please use -J instead.
windres.exe: D:\Garage\projekte\mahogany\MAHOGA~1\res\M.rc: Not a valid WIN32 resource file
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings
 
The file can be found here:
http://mahogany.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mahogany/trunk/M/res/M.rc?revision=7018&view=markup

I do not what is different here and where I can set the -I and -J option.

What compiler, include version, are you using?

Also, what version of Code::Blocks are you using RC2 or SVN? If SVN, what SVN number?

What compiler, include version, are you using?

I am using gcc (3.4.2 mingw-special) under WinXP.

Also, what version of Code::Blocks are you using RC2 or SVN? If SVN, what SVN number?

I am using the current nightly.

current nightly

I think SVN number is more useful (outside nightly build posts)...

From doc/build_win.txt

currently, the supported compilers [, under windows,] for building Mahogany are MS Visual C++ 7.1 and cygwin.

I can help you to get past some problems, but it may be a lot of problems and it still maybe won't work using MinGW GCC.

Please turn on Compiler Logging.

Post the command causing the error and I might be able to help you find the cause.

Steps to turn on Compiler Logging:
"Settings" -> "compiler debugger"
Change "Compiler Settings" to "Other Settings"
Set "Compiler Logging" to "Full Command Line"

This is the problem causing the warning

-Ires

I am now looking for where it is located.

I had to NOT compile IMAP because of errors. Still trying to get your error message; what version of wxWidgets are you using?

From doc/build_win.txt

IMAP does not work with mingw.

Here's the error I get.

Still looking for your error.

Now have your error.

The problem could be in 3 places. I tend to believe it is in a little of all 3 places.

1. M.rc (bad data or formatting)
2. windres.exe ( does not support operations needed by M.rc)
3. Code::Blocks (does not change to folder containing M.rc)

I am going to try to get Mahogany to compile using VS2003 and see if I can reduce the problem areas some.

I am going to try to get Mahogany to compile using VS2003 and see if I can reduce the problem areas some.

I found the problem.

The string "-Ires" is an option "-I" and a search dir for the resource-compiler "res".
I just changed "res" to ".\res" and it worked.

Is it a C::B specific bug? Should I add bug report? Or is it a winres-bug?

[stahta01]

I say that it is a windres.exe bug, but maybe it can be fixed by code in code::blocks.
