It would be better to see a particular example which doesn't work as expected and information on what happens instead of the expected behaviour. In general, the standard IBM resource compiler RC.EXE is included in optional item in the OS/2 standard installer covering development tools (together with e.g. the standard linker LINK386.EXE). In addition, the Developers Toolkit (included as an additional package in eComStation) includes these standard IBM tools too. Finally, there are also 3rd party resource compilers (in particular the free Watcom C/C++ compiler includes a cross-platform resource compiler allowing compilation of resources also on other platforms).

[fpc-pascal] windres not required/provided by Debian 2.6.0 FPC
Morning list,
While getting a Jenkins continuous integration server going
On Debian 6 (Squeeze), I installed just enough packages to get a
compiler and get a compile job going
fp-compiler 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Compiler metapackage
fp-compiler-2.6.02.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Compiler
fp-units-i3862.6.0-0 Free Pascal - kylix compatibility
units metapackage
fp-units-i386-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - kylix compatibility units
fp-units-rtl 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Runtime Library
metapackage
fp-units-rtl-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Runtime Library
fp-utils 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Utils metapackage
fp-utils-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Utils
The manual mentions that the FreePascal distribution comes with the
windres resource compiler
(http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progse59.html).
However, a simple test program containing a {$r resourcet.rc} directive
gives:
fpc resourcet.pas
resourcet.pas(9,1) Error: resource compiler windres not found,
switching to external mode
resourcet.pas(9,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not
specify a source file to be compiled?
Trying to fix it:
apt-get install mingw32-binutils
gives
/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-windres
If I then symlink windres:
ln -s /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-windres /usr/bin/windres
compilation works.
If it has not already been done so, would it be a good idea for the
Debian packager add the relevant package as
required/dependency+incorporate the symlink?
Thanks,
Reinier
