I just installed Lazarus v1.6 w/ PFC 3.0 x64 on Windows 10 64-bit Pro this morning - still using all default settings.
When I create a new console app by selecting "Program" from the "New Project" dialog, Lazarus creates a few base files for my project. One of those files is a resource file with the extension *.res. However, each time I compile my little program an error raises informing me that Lazarus cannot find the resource file named MyFilename.rc. The compiler is looking for a resource file with the extension *.rc instead of the *.res extension created by the template or app wizard. I simply change the extension on the resource file from *.res to *.rc then everything compiles perfectly, but I should not have to perform this step. I have tried several small "Hello World!" type example programs, and each time the same issue occurs - I get a *.res resource file when the compiler is looking for a *.rc resource file. Is this a small bug in Lazarus, or is there a setting that I have neglected to change somewhere which will point the compiler to the correct resource file extension?
Thanx in advance!
