Everything was working fine ... then today happened.

I'm building an application within UE Studio, using FWH, Harbour, and MSVC 2010. It has been building fine. Then today I started getting the following error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

If I don't link in the .res file, I dont get the error. However, this same .res file has been fine previously and is built with the Microsoft rc compiler.

Has anyone seen this message before ? I looked at the Microsoft info online but it doesn't exactly help to find the right file that is causing the problem.

Tim,

Are you installed MSVC or use a copy from another install ??

use resource compiler from VC2008, VC2010 not comming with resource compiler.

Tim,

Whats the exact command line that you use to call the linker ?

You have to pay attention to the "," used

by **nnicanor** » Sat Jun 02, 2012 1:56 pm

Do you have duplicate resources names in multiple resource file linking ?

Regards,

RC.exe is actually provided in the Microsoft SDKs and we've used that previously.

I will look at the configuration on my older computer to see if maybe there is something different.
I did use the same configuration ( and link script ) to build Antonio's DBU and that worked fine. However, it did not use a resource file. Thus I suspect for some reason this resource file build is flawed, although I don't seem to have an issue with it being built. I'll look further into it shortly.

Nicanor,

Do you have a make file you could send me ....

I am using UE Studio and their Build from the project files. It was working fine on my other computer, but not on the new one. Both are WIn 7 machines, but I loaded all of the software fresh on this new one. In some cases that may be a huge advantage because some of the "issues" have gone away.

Perhaps an external build file will work better. I'm using Harbour 3.0, FWH 12.04 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with the SDK kit 7.0

Tim,

The RC file may contain the description of some BITMAPS (or similar resources) that are not found on your PC and that will avoid its creation and the make will stop.

by **TimStone** » Sun Jun 03, 2012 11:39 pm

This problem was on the new computer, and not the old. So I went to Windows Update, and that downloaded a SR and a number of patches for Visual Studio 2010. Now it is building.

Thanks for all the input. It is a real frustration when having to completely load a brand new computer.

Tim,

Same problem for me when i configured a backup computer, VC and Mingw must be installed and configured properly to build fine.
