Rc file limitation

[Marco Turco]

Hi all,
I have a large app where all image resources are included in a .rc file.
Unfortunately I can add now other image resource in that file because the following link error appairs:
-----------
k:\BCC55\Bin\Brc32.Exe -r -foK:\pigc\Resource\COMMONRC.Res K:\pigc\RC\COMMONRC.RC

Is there a limit about the number of imager resource we can add ?
Is there anyone that already had this problem ?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

YES .. there is a limit that the Borland resource compiler can handle .. I ran into this myself because I was importing alpha blended bitmaps which were large in file size ..

I have seen some work arounds posted here in the forums .. I believe someone is using the Pelles C resource compiler in their script rather than the Borland one .. however, I do not remember ..

Hopefully someone will chime in here and give you some help ..

Marco,
Are you sure it's the rc that's giving you trouble?

k:\BCC55\Bin\Brc32.Exe -r -foK:\pigc\Resource\COMMONRC.Res K:\pigc\RC\COMMONRC.RC

To me it looks like it failed during linking, not compiling the resource file. Perhaps, an extra comma got introduced in the link file?

If it is the rc file, what I normally do is just split them into smaller ones (never experimented with PellesC). My rmk then would look something like this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

.rc.res:
  j:\harbour\bcc55\bin\brc32 -r $<
rcfile1.res : rcfile1.rc
rcfile2.res : rcfile2.rc
 

My link file would then have something like:

Code: Select all  Expand view

.
.
j:\harbour\bcc55\lib\psdk\msimg32.lib +
j:\harbour\bcc55\lib\psdk\iphlpapi.lib,
rcfile1.res rcfile2.res
 

[dutch]

I've got help from the forum about this case and got the one solution is working fine for me. It is the batch to include all .RC files to be one file as following.

Code: Select all  Expand view

copy WINXP.RC+EZ4FO.RC+EZ4CFG.RC+EZ4BMP.RC RESOURCE.RC
BRC32.EXE -R RESOURCE.RC
 

I might help you as me.
