Hi,
I enter the string by hand, It works!

Here are some results,

C:\pp\lazarus>windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res --preprocessor c:/pp/bin/win3 2/cpp.exe
C:\PP\BIN\WIN32\WINDRES.EXE: no resources

C:\pp\lazarus>windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res --preprocessor /pp/bin/win32/ cpp.exe
Bad command or file name
C:\PP\BIN\WIN32\WINDRES.EXE: no resources

C:\pp\lazarus>windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res --preprocessor \pp\bin\win32\ cpp.exe
This one did the job!

FYI Thanks,
James

Hi,
I'm trying to compile Lazarus 05142002 snapshot with Win32 fpc-1.0.6.

Run the first "Make". Options look like in the wrong spot?

windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res --preprocessor C:/PP/BIN/WIN32/cpp.exe C:/P P/BIN/WIN32/cpp.exe
Usage: windres [options] [input-file] [output-file] Options:
-i FILE, --input FILE Name input file
-o FILE, --output FILE Name output file
-I FORMAT, --input-format FORMAT
Specify input format
-O FORMAT, --output-format FORMAT
Specify output format
-F TARGET, --target TARGET Specify COFF target
--preprocessor PROGRAM Program to use to preprocess rc file --include-dir DIR Include directory when preprocessing rc file -DSYM[=VAL], --define SYM[=VAL]
Define SYM when preprocessing rc file
-v Verbose - tells you what it's doing --language VAL Set language when reading rc file --help Print this help message --version Print version information FORMAT is one of rc, res, or coff, and is deduced from the file name extension if not specified. A single file name is an input file. No input-file is stdin, default rc. No output-file is stdout, default rc. windres: supported targets: pe-i386 pei-i386 srec symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex MAKE.EXE[1]: *** [lazarus.res] Error 1

Okay, run the second "Make".

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong,
Thanks,
