Title: DLL compile error: no resources
Post by: Sebastian Roll on January 31, 2006, 02:06:38 pm
Hi all!

I try to produce a DLL from raknet sourcecode (raknet is a free multiplayer lib).
The only error I get is:

Windres.exe: no resources

I attached the resource .h/.res files in any place in C::B project-config I could found.
I get same error on compiling after using the Import-Wizard for Visula Studio 6.0 and .Net projects, which are provided by raknet.
Any ideas what to do?

cu, Sebastian Roll

Doesn't Windres.exe only work with .rc files????? NOT .res????

you need to add the proper directory in
Project->Build options->Directories->Resource compiler

Thx for response.

Yes, You are right. It's a .rc file.

I have added the directory to Project->Build options->Directories->Resource compiler
Same error, though.

here are the file contents:

you may need to edit your resource file in order to get out all the VS crap

post your project (only sorce code and project files) as zip-file here

You are very kind, tiwag. I will do that in aprox. 5 hours (my boss gets around).

I get same error on compiling after using the Import-Wizard for Visula Studio 6.0 and .Net projects, which are provided by raknet.

I have imported in C::B the .NET solution and with some small modifications of some projects got it to work. You can search for my posts (two I think), by using advanced search with "Import solution" and my name "Michael".

Best wishes,
Michael

Ok, I managed to compile the raknet DLL.
Like tiwag said, You have to throw some Visual Studio generated crap in file "resource.rc" away.

Here is the new file content:

Code

#include "resource.h"

1 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "resource.h\0"
END

2 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "#include ""afxres.h""\r\n"
    "\0"
END

3 TEXTINCLUDE  
BEGIN
    "\r\n"
    "\0"
END


Problem is solved.
Error message "Windres.exe: no resources" no longer exists.
Thank You all.
