[ros-dev] Re : ReactOS doesn't compile well

Tue Jul 10 20:10:48 CEST 2007

Hello,
unfortunately, the problem really exists, since it seems that at least someone else saw the error when compiling.
Hopefully, I discovered a solution.
I changed windres.exe with another one.
The one into RosBE 0.3.6 says:

GNU windres (GNU Binutils) 2.17.50.20070608
Copyright 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The one into my MSYS installation says:

I renamed windres.exe into c:\RosBE\4.1.3\bin and I copied the old one. And surprise, now it all works.
Don't ask me why... at the moment I don't know the reason but this trick made it working.

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini
