Summary: rc.exe cannot find generated type library, Visual
Studio 10 builder
Description:
I have an IDL file that generates a type library, and an RC file that wants to
embed it.
The .tlb is emitted here:
C:\build\easyrtd.vs10\EasyRTD\easyrtd.dir\Debug>dir *.tlb
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 5AB0-0B44
Directory of C:\build\easyrtd.vs10\EasyRTD\easyrtd.dir\Debug
23/01/2012 18:52 2,612 EasyRTD.tlb
1 File(s) 2,612 bytes
0 Dir(s) 171,651,473,408 bytes free
there is no obvious sign of the rc file (easyrtd.rc) in the working build
directory, but if I insert a #error statement I get:
1>C:\src\easyrtd\EasyRTD\easyrtd.src\EasyRTD.rc(21): error RC2188:
C:\build\easyrtd.vs10\EasyRTD\EasyRTD.dir\Debug\RCa03492(25) : fatal error
RC1116: RC terminating after preprocessor errors
1>
which suggests that the file was copied over, if temporarily.
Unfortunately I cannot say:
2 TYPELIB "EasyRTD.tlb"
since rc.exe fails to find the file.
I can say:
2 TYPELIB "c:\build\easyrtd.vs10\EasyRTD\easyrtd.dir\Debug\EasyRTD.tlb"
or, I can say:
2 TYPELIB "EasyRTD.tlb"
if I also (don't laugh!) say in CMakeLists.txt:
include_directories(. c:/build/easyrtd.vs10/EasyRTD/easyrtd.dir/Debug)
before the source definition.
Steps to Reproduce:
Simple project that defines a type library and tries to embed it should do.
Additional Information:
Its concerning also that there isn't a failure from include scanning I guess.
Is this construct (generate and import a type library) supported at all at the
moment?
Is there a preferred recipe?
