Title: problem with wxWidget - windres error
Post by: gougou on June 15, 2007, 04:23:24 pm

Hello,

again a post on wxWidget. I have not seen a similar error yet.
I use SVN 4093 of CodeBlocks and installed wxWidget2.6

I use the wxWidget Wizard to create the a sample project.

When I try to compile it I have an error message : here is the log

-------------- Build: Release in testagain ---------------

Do not really know what is happening.

If anyone can help me it would be grate.

Bye.

Please post the version of windres you are using. There is some problem with some of them.

Code

windres --version

Also, the meaning of the -I option was changed in the past few years.

Code

windres --help

Gives below for me with my version of "GNU windres 2.17.50 20060824"; note you can use older windres but you need to change options somewhere in Code::Blocks to do so. Link on what to change if you wish to use the really old windres
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,27.html
Note, the thread is several years old, so the info may or may not work.

Code

  -J --input-format=<format>   Specify input format
  -I --include-dir=<dir>       Include directory when preprocessing rc file

Hello,

your remark was the good one. My windres was quite old, and I installed the version you mentionned and my wxWidget "wizard" application compiles and runs.

Thanks again.
