Gang,
I unfortunately have to raise the "PalmRez can't find the .RSRC file on Windows" issue
again. I searched eScribe and saw many posts that hint at the problem I'm
experiencing (so I imagine that this is not a quirk of my installation), but none of
the responses seem to address the issue satisfactorily.
I'm trying to build a resource-only .PRC file using CodeWarrior 9 on Windows
(actually, I've got 9.2-beta, but I imagine that's got nothing to do with it). My
project Rez's a bunch of .R files into an .RSRC, then tells PalmRez to convert that
into a .PRC. Unfortunately, PalmRez is unable to find the .PRC file, and displays the
following error message (though the high ASCII quotes actually get mangled):
Link Error : PalmRez Error: Could not open file: Big5Tables.rsrc in
"Big5Tables.rsrc"; line 1 # Col: 1
Here's what I've tried based on postings I found in eScribe:
1) The Resource.frk folder and empty Big5Tables.rsrc file seem to be created by Rez
correctly. The former seems to contain another Big5Tables.rsrc file that has my
resource data in it.
2) One of the responses seemed to suggest that this problem could be due to an out of
date PalmRez Post Linker. I've installed the Palm OS SDK (68K) R3, and hand-copied
PalmRez, its panel and support files into my CodeWarrior\Bin\Plugins folder. All of
these files tell me that this PalmRez is version 4.8.1.0 (last modified 9/18/2003), so
I imagine that I'm up to date.
3) I believe that I've specified the Target, Rez, MacOS Merge, and PalmRez Post Linker
settings correctly, essentially identical to the settings specified in a Mac version
of the same project that builds correctly on CodeWarrior for the Mac (IDE 4.0.4). In
particular:
Linker: MacOS Merge
Pre-linker: None
Post-linker: PalmRez
MacOS Merge Project: Resource File
4) I've tried specifying the Output Directory as {Project}, as {Project}Rsc, and as
C:\, but in all cases Rez puts Big5Tables.rsrc and its Resource.frk folder into the
directory, but PalmRez never finds them.
5) Just in case there was something wrong with my project file, I rebuilt the whole
thing from scratch - same result.
This seems like such a simple little project. Could someone out there please
straighten me out before this dyed in the wool Mac fanatic loses all faith in
CodeWarrior on Windows?
Thanks,
- Chris
