[Mingw-users] windres linking resources

[mike w. <loc...@ha...>]

Hi,

 

  I don't know if this is a known bug (couldn't find any documentation on
it), but it looks like when you have more than 1 resource file and link it
to the executable things don't work.

 

Example:

 

Test.exe uses test_1.rc test_2.rc - when I use windres to convert it to the
proper format and I link it with mingw, the program just terminates when
executed. However if test_1.rc is the resource of the "main" window and I
link only that resource I can get the program to run. However when it tries
to create the second window (the contents of test_2.rc) it doesn't work.
Nothing happens.

 

if I only have 1 resource file everything works fine and there are no
problems. So my conclusion is that mingw doesn't link things properly when
more than 1 resource file is used. Typically with my programming I make each
window a separate class and therefore it has its own .rc file. 

 

Does anyone know more about this or could point me to any workarounds?

 

Thanks in advance!
