Hi Markus,
I have a working windres, from which i don't know where the h*** i got
it from:
mduft parity.new $ windres --version
GNU windres 2.9.1
Wow, that is old.
The resulting windres seems to work, and produces .res and .o files
without problems - but: the resulting files are damaged! I stripped down
a little test case (attached) which shows, that embedding manifest files
as resource doesn't seem to work! See file "instructions" to see how to
produce the error i see (while linking the resulting object).
Unfortunately that test case assumes that I have cl.exe and link.exe and that I
can run them on my local machine... (Well I could run them. but I certainly do
not have them).
So...
1. What is the error that you are seeing ?
2. If you compare an object file produced by the 2.9.1 windres and an object
file produced by the 2.18 windres how do they differ ?
3. Your testcase includes a Makefile and sources to build a client and a dll,
but neither of these are referenced in the "instructions" file. Are they
needed at all ?
4. Have you tried a windres built from the mainline of the binutils sources
in the CVS repository ?
Cheers
Nick
