Problem with .rc file
« on: April 13, 2020, 03:49:19 pm »
Hello!

I would like to compile my program with an .rc file. Until now I had no problem with it, but now it won't compile for some reason. The .rc file contains the following lines:

EK BITMAP "D:\lazarus\UH feldolgozás és értékelés\Egyszeru.bmp"
AK BITMAP "D:\lazarus\UH feldolgozás és értékelés\Atszelesi.bmp"

I included {$R kitero.rc} under the implementation part of my program. kitero.rc is the .rc file I want to use. I get the following error message:

Error: Error while compiling resources -> Compile with -vd for more details. Check for duplicates.

What can be wrong?

Thank ou in advance!  :)

sounds like a doublicate resource name. Try to clean up and build your project. Usually that solves it for me.

Thank you for your suggestion! :)
Sadly, it didn't solve my problem, I get the same error message.

You need to check all of your files for duplicates..

If you have a *.res file that was previously created from a *.rc then beware that in many places you have this {R *.res) that will include it that too..

 So if you compiler links in all of the *.Res it finds and then it finds what you have here with your RC the contents of which may already be there..

 So you need to check all of your source files for duplicated entries and the use of {$ *.RES}
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

I couldn't find any duplicates.

Before this error message I mentioned above, I have the following warnings:

Warning: windres [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file]

I found a solution.
I deleted the accented chars from the project folder name and replaced the spaces with "_".
The interesting thing is, that I had no such problem earlier...
