[cdt-dev] RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Resource compiler?

["Sennikovsky, Mikhail" <mikhail.sennikovsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jean-Claude,

The problem might be in incorrect custom build settings. You might also
want to check the makefile being generated to see what's wrong there.

Here is an example of using the resource custom build steps:

Suppose you have the resource.rc file in the project root directory and
want to generate the resource.o that is then to be linked into an
executable together with the other .o files:
The Custom Build steps settings for the resource.rc would look like:

"Custom Build Step Applicability"->"Apply Custom Build Step..."
"Output file name(s):"->"resource.o"
"Command"->"windres ../resource.rc resource.o"

BTW, you might better ask the user questions to the newsgroup since this
list is mostly for developer discussions.

Regards,
Mikhail

Mikhail,

Thanks for the info. I tried it but I get the following:

make -k clean all 
rm  -rf ./src/main.o ./resource.o bppfcEdit.exe
[...]
make: *** No rule to make target `resource.o', needed by
`bppfcEdit.exe'.
