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.
The fundamental problem is that PalmRez, the plugin, in written to an earlier version of the CodeWarrior plugin API than is used by the Mac OS Merge linker.
The easiest workaround is to use the Mac OS 68K linker instead. Just have it generate a code resource with an unused type and ID that you can ignore with a really simple
void __Startup__(void) { }
as the source text.
I tried a number of experiments to get PalmRez to play nicely with Mac OS Merge during V9's development, but API differences basically prevent PalmRez from seeing the output file of Mac OS Merge consistently. I raised this issue with PalmSource, but the problem was that if they changed their API, it would cause problems for people using older versions of CodeWarrior, and they didn't want to distribute multiple versions of PalmRez.
People have reported success by overriding the input filename for PalmRez and explicitly listing your output filename for the Mac OS Merge linker in the Mac OS resource field of the PalmRez panel. I've not tried that.
