Hello everyone,
I am attempting to use windres to compile a .rc file. The command line I use is:
windres -O coff about1.rc -o about1.res
Windres generates a flurry of (more than 100) messaes each saying "warning: null characters ignored", and then ends by reporting:
"About1.rc:1:sy ntax error"
This same event happens even if I try to compile an empty .rc file.
I am running in a MinGW environment using the most recent version of Windres and a fresh (as of 12/12) downloac of MinGW.
To further add to the confusion, if I compile EXACTLY the same .rc file using rc.exe, the compiler is happy and generates a usable .res file.
Any ideas what might be going wrong?
Regards,
Mark Allyn
