I compiled Lazarus with some components (rxnew for example), and
windres used 470 MB Virtual memory in the task manager. After a
while
I got this message:
Compiling resource ..\units\i386-win32\fpc-res.res
D:\FPC\2.0.2\bin\i386-Win32\windres.exe:
D:\FPC\2.0.2\bin\i386-Win32\windres.exe
: ..\units\i386-win32\fpc-res.res: unexpected end of file
Error: Error while linking
Update: using windres from fpcbuild\trunk\install\binw32 I have no
such problem.
It may be windres bug or some of collected .res files is not fully
correct...
What version each windres have?
Can you send me this fpc-res.res file?
Working version (from fpc 2.3.1):

Attached is the used fpc-res.res file.
Looking at the version, I think windres is just too old. I never had
fpc 2.0.4
installed on this computer, so I am still using the binutils from
fpc 2.0.2.
Yes. I found that windres 2.9.5 is buggy. It compiles .rc files not
100% properly and this causes crash if several .res files are merged
together.
windres 2.16.91 should be used. You need to update your binutils.
Yury.
