Hi.
Im trying to migrate some Delphi controls to Lazarus, that use some bitmaps in resource files.

I have change them from bmp format to png,
and use a lazarus tool ( "lazres" ) that call "windres".

I have a bug. It seems that when I use filenames of resources that are longer than DOS 8 characters a bug is created.

Does someone have deal with the same problem, and have some answer ?

I already look in the internet for some info, before asking here. but, got not result.

Thanks.

Can you show the exact commandline and the output on the console?

Hi. As I mention before, Im migrating some components to lazarus.

(1) I have a "TComponent" descendant, called "
tcustomsdvfilefilterscontainer.PNG".

(2) I use lazres like:

"c:\...\lazres.exe filefilt.lrs tcustomsdvfilefilterscontainer.PNG"

No error found.

(3) I have a "sdvtoolsregiste.pas" with code similar to like:

====

unit sdvtoolsregister;
uses
  filefilters;
initialization
{$IFDEF FPC}
{$R 'filefilt.lrs'}
{$END

====

(4) Lazarus generates the following messages when compiling:

Calling resource compiler

(5) I have already compile some resources, with success, previously.

The only difference I notice, is that I using component resources names & filenames longer than D.O.S. 8 characters, and in some messages a "*~1.PNG" shorten path is displayed for some files.

IIRC Lazarus resources (cretaed with LazRes) must be included with {$I resourcename.lrs} and not with {$R}
