Problem with resource files

(1/1)

br3z3l:
I know that this problem is asked some times ago in the forum, but i didn't find a solution for my problem either. I want to add some resources to my console application, such as a icon, so Windows shows this icon in explorer. But when i add a *.rc file to my project, it always says:


--- Quote ---Compiling: icon.rc
gcc: icon.rc: No such file or directory
gcc: warning: `-x c' after last input file has no effect
gcc: no input files

windres.exe: no resources
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

1 errors, 1 warnings

--- End quote ---

The resource file i am using looks like this:

--- Code: ---Application ICON DISCARDABLE "auido.ico"

--- End code ---

The icon "auido.ico" is placed in the same folder as the project file is placed (in my case: N:\xaudio).

if have also added
  N:\xaudio
  N:\xaudio\.objs
to Project's Build options\Directories\Resource compiler, but it always has the same error when i add the *.rc file. Without the resource file i can compile it without any problems or warnings. I have also stopped my AV while compiling the resources (I have read this anywhere here), but still no effect at all.

I'm using

Just a couple of questions.
   1) Did you add the icon.rc to your project file?
   2) Is the resource file in the same directory as project file?

If your compiling it from the consule the code should look something like this:
   windres -o resfile.o icon.rc

Then make sure when you link all the files that you include resfile.o

kkez:
First, your question doesn't seems to be related to C::B, so the answer would rather be "Go ask to the mingw forum"  :D

Now, first get a more recent (nightly) build. Then, go to Settings->Compiler & Debugger->"Other" tab->"Compiler logging" combobox->select "Full command line". Finally repost the compiler output.
