Nightly Build 28 Feb - Link error - cvtres.exe

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I just installed a nightly build version (28 Feb) + Visual Toolkit 2003 + Platform SDK.
I'm trying to compile a windows app with resource file.
rc.exe has successfully been found within the pSDK, but I got the following message:

fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'cvtres.exe'

What is this executable? Is rc.exe not enough to compile the resource file? Where is he supposed to be located (in the C::B folder, the VCToolkit2003, or the pSDK one)?

Thanks for your help.

If I recall right, cvtres.exe is part of the dotnet framework.

Searching my hard drive for copies of it, still in progress

For the proper operation of VCTK, .NET SDK is necessary. Install a .NET SDK. :)

Ok.
Found the file cvtres.exe in:
c:\windows\Microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727
and added this path in:
Settings/Compiler and Debugger/Toolchain executables/Additional Paths
(I had already .net 1.1 and 2.0 installed).

This one is cleared.

Now I got no more error after compilation, but a recurrent warning:

:: === Generic, Debug ===
LIBC.lib(wincrt0.obj):: warning LNK4099: PDB 'libc.pdb' was not found with 'C:\Programme\VCToolkit2003\lib\LIBC.lib' or at 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jean-Marc\Eigene Dateien\CodeBlocks Projects\Generic\bin\Debug\libc.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info

Did I miss something at installation?

Shouldn't this file be installed by C::B, like <my_prog_name>.pdb in the project\bin\Debug folder?

Biplab:
My guess you are trying to compile your app in debug mode whereas you are trying to link with non-debug C Runtime Library. Link it against libcd.lib and see if there's any difference or not. :)
