Resource compilation under Linux problem.

Post by Sergey »

Hello all.
I'm trying to compile resource file under Linux (Linux-hosted cross-compilation). Without resource file my project builds perfect. But when I connect resource file I take the message:
make: *** No rule to build target `Win32Release/resource.o'. Stopped. (in Russian).
But file resource.rc perfectly compiles from command shell.

Build Settings:
Resource Compiler: i586-mingw32msvc-windres
File Types: rc --- Resource --- $(RcCompilerName) -i "$(FileFullPath)" $(RcCmpOptions) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/$(FileFullName)$(ObjectSuffix) $(RcIncludePath)

Project Settings, Resource tab:
Compiler Options: $(shell wx-config --prefix=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586-mingw32msvc)
Additional Search Path: /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/wx-2.8

So, I need help with problem. As I understand CodeLite don't recognize mesher.rc as resource file.

Sergey.

You are correct, I for some reason made an assumption that the resource compiler & Linux can not co-exist ...

I see this line in builder_gnumake.cpp, 547:

Code: Select all

} else if (ft.kind == Compiler::CmpFileKindResource && bldConf->IsResCompilerRequired() && OS_WINDOWS ) {
Which means, that a rule for the resource compiler will be added to the makefile only when the above condition is met.

I will fix this in SVN trunk.

A workaround:
use the 'Custom Makefile Steps' and fill in the page project settings -> custom makefile steps
Fill the page like this:

Dependencies:

Code: Select all

$(IntermediateDirectory)/resource.o
Rule action:

Code: Select all

resource.rc:
<TAB>$(RcCompilerName) -i "$(FileFullPath)" $(RcCmpOptions) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/resource.o $(RcIncludePath) 
the above will add a makefile rule to compile your resource file once the resource.rc is modified

Hello Eran.
Now resource.rc are compiled and and generated resource.o but resource.o doesn't take put in linkage. CodeLite show next link line:
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ -o ./Win32Release/Mesher.exe ./Win32Release/evaluation.o ./Win32Release/parserevaluation.o ./Win32Release/binary.o ./Win32Release/parser.o ./Win32Release/tree.o ./Win32Release/unary.o ./Win32Release/variable.o ./Win32Release/mesher_app.o ./Win32Release/mesher_frame.o ./Win32Release/prefs.o ./Win32Release/wxnumbertextctrl.o ./Win32Release/meshpicture.o ./Win32Release/trackball.o ./Win32Release/gui_calcfunction.o ./Win32Release/calcfunctiondialog.o ./Win32Release/mesh2d.o ./Win32Release/mesh2dadaptive.o ./Win32Release/mesh2duniform.o ./Win32Release/mesh2dzones.o ./Win32Release/point2d.o ./Win32Release/vector2d.o ./Win32Release/mesh3d.o ./Win32Release/mesh3duniform.o ./Win32Release/point3d.o ./Win32Release/vector3d.o ./Win32Release/mesh.o ./Win32Release/mesh_utils.o "-L/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/" -lwx_mswu_gl-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwx_mswu_stc-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lopengl32 -lglu32 -O2 -mthreads -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libwx_mswu-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc.a -lwxregexu-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwxexpat-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwxtiff-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwxjpeg-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwxpng-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lwxzlib-2.8-i586-mingw32msvc -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32

In the make file I see next line:

Code: Select all

##
## Main Build Tragets 
##
all: $(OutputFile)

$(OutputFile): makeDirStep PrePreBuild $(Objects)
	@mkdir -p $(@D)
	$(LinkerName) $(OutputSwitch)$(OutputFile) $(Objects) $(LibPath) $(Libs) $(LinkOptions)

makeDirStep:
	@test -d ./Win32Release || mkdir -p ./Win32Release
PrePreBuild: $(IntermediateDirectory)/resource$(ObjectSuffix)
$(IntermediateDirectory)/resource$(ObjectSuffix): 
	$(RcCompilerName) -i "/home/sergey/QHMesher/resource.rc" $(RcCmpOptions) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/resource$(ObjectSuffix) $(RcIncludePath)
Can I add resource.o to linkage line?

Yes, i forgot to mention that:

in the linker tab (project settings -> linker -> options)
add your resource object:

Code: Select all

;./Win32Release/resource.o
