As you can see, I'm using the latest version of BCX (I have the 64 bit version of BCX in the bin directory) and I'm using the batch files recommended by MrBCX. Maybe there is a problem with the file name of the resource file.

I do not know how to create a .rc file using BCX, but have tried creating a .res file using the Porc.bat batch file. As you can see above, the error message is the same. The pw64 batch files deletes any .res files in the build directory afterwards, as there is no such file there at the moment. However, the Porc batch file results in a .res file.
I hope we can resolve this issue. Thanks.

1) Remove Accele~1__.rc             --- that is an orphan and serves no purpose
2) Edit your copy of Build64.bat    --- remove the lines that start with del accelerator
    Your edited batch file should now only contain these three lines:
                                 BC accelerator
                                 call porc accelerator__.rc
                                 call pw64 accelerator accelerator__.res

3) Run Build64.bat                       --- observe what files are created.

Below are the files you should have in that folder, each time you run Build64.bat:
If you have these files then you are good to go.

Accelerator.Bas
Accelerator.c
accelerator.exe
accelerator.obj
ACCELERATOR__.rc
accelerator__.res
Build.Bat
Build64.bat

PORC.bat  (Pelle Orinius Resource Compiler) expects a text resource file ( .rc )
as its input.  PORC converts the .rc to a binary version (.res) that later gets linked into
the executable ( .exe ) when Build64.bat hits this line:
call pw64 accelerator accelerator__.res

     the "C" file  ---^          ^--- the binary file created by PORC

If you want to learn how to design more sophisticated resource files that can contain
everything from GUI elements (  button, combos, editboxes, etc ), accelerators, manifests,
foreign language files, even embedded binary files, then you will need to spend time inside
the Pelles C IDE and its Help file.

Another GUI demo that uses user designed resource files in BARCHART.  It's very instructive.

Report back and we'll see if you're on track.

Even if I copy an already existing accelerator__.res file into this directory (from the original demo directory included in the BCX distro, not the updated 2020 demo's), it still produces the same error and also the accelerator__.res file is deleted by something. Thanks.


PS I thought that my antivirus setup was interfering with the compilation but disabling it makes no difference.

PORC not finding "windows.h" suggest a problem with your Pelles C installation.

One thing I can suggest is modifying your Porc.bat to the following:

Code Select


SETLOCAL

@echo off

SET PATH=C:\PellesC\Bin;

SET INCLUDE=C:\PellesC\Include;C:\PellesC\Include\Win;

echo Compiling %1 with Pelles Resource Compiler

call c:\pellesc\bin\porc %1 /Ic:\pellesc\include\win

ENDLOCAL



Notice that I added  /Ic:\pellesc\include\win to the second to the last line.

That explicitly tells porc where to find "windows.h"

Hopefully that helps

Robert

Hi David:

Go back to square 1. Remove Accele~1__.rc. Run povars32.bat. Run Build.bat.

When Pelles C is installed, a povars32.bat and a povars64.bat file are created, which set paths and includes for pocc, porc polink etc. The two batch files are created in the PellesInstallPath\bin\ folder. Copy these files from the bin folder where you installed Pelles to a folder that is in your PATH. Before you use the compiler linker or whatever, run povars32.bat or povars64.bat and your paths and includes will be set up properly.
