Title: Problem with compiling resources
Post by: Destroyer on January 10, 2006, 08:37:58 am

Project   : ZeroCool
Compiler  : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)
Directory : D:\Projects\ZeroCool\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switching to target: default
Compiling: resources.rc
windres.exe: invalid option -- J
Usage: windres.exe [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file]
 The options are:
  -i --input=<file>            Name input file
  -o --output=<file>           Name output file
  -I --input-format=<format>   Specify input format
  -O --output-format=<format>  Specify output format
  -F --target=<target>         Specify COFF target
     --preprocessor=<program>  Program to use to preprocess rc file
     --include-dir=<dir>       Include directory when preprocessing rc file
  -D --define <sym>[=<val>]    Define SYM when preprocessing rc file
  -v --verbose                 Verbose - tells you what it's doing
     --language=<val>          Set language when reading rc file
     --use-temp-file           Use a temporary file instead of popen to read
                               the preprocessor output
     --no-use-temp-file        Use popen (default)
  -h --help                    Print this help message
  -V --version                 Print version information
FORMAT is one of rc, res, or coff, and is deduced from the file name
extension if not specified.  A single file name is an input file.
No input-file is stdin, default rc.  No output-file is stdout, default rc.
windres.exe: supported targets: pe-i386 pei-i386 elf32-i386 elf32-little elf32-big srec symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 2 seconds)

What can I do to fix this problem?

I bet you're using an old version of windres.

Compare your windres --version with this one (mine):

If yours is older, consider updating :)

If you don't want to upgrade binutils, search the forum. The solution has been posted many times...
