Re: [fpc-devel] multiply resource files bug (commit 7515)
From: "Vincent Snijders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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 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.
