Compiling Problems: missing resource?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

This is a bit strange, but a project that was compiling perfectly now isn't.

I am getting the following error:

Compiler: GCC
Building Makefile: "C:\Programs\BoxWorld\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\Programs\BoxWorld\Makefile.win" all
windres.exe -i TestBox_private.rc -I rc -o TestBox_private.res -O coff

windres.exe: no resources

make.exe: *** [TestBox_private.res] Error 1

Execution terminated

I'm not sure why it's looking for a resource file as the project has always been selected as a Win32 Console project. I've gone into Project Options and indeed it still says I'm creating a Win32 console project.

*shrugs*

This started occuring when I was altering some of the compiler/linker options. I haven't got the hang of setting up the debugger and everytime I went to debug, I would get the message that I hadn't compiled with the debugging information enabled (or something like that). I was trying to find the setting I needed to make sure the correct debugging information was there.

I added -g to the compiler options both globally and at the project level and also selected "Yes" for debugging information in the linker option at the project level. I believe it was after that last alteration that I started getting the resource missing type errors.

I reverted all the options I changed back to how they were previously but I still received the same error.

Is this really weird? Or have I done something amazingly stupid?

Ps - using Dev-C++ 4.9.7.4
