RC : fatal error RC1110 : could not open rsrc.rc

From some reason program always put rsrc.rc as default resource file although I have my own resource file with the same name as asm file.

You can add the resource file manual:
in the project tree right click the resource group (or any other) -> add Item -> existing files -> select your resource file -> the file is now loaded. The next step is to mark it as main-resource file: Menu->Make->"Toggle Current As Main File".

What if I'm not using projects?  :)
everything works fine except this.

In any case, I'm not sure from where RadASM takes rsrc.rc instead of file with the same name as .asm file?

Welcome in the club ;-)

If you have access to a batch file, try this:

if exist "%filebody%.rc" (
   set resfile="%filebody%.rc"
) else (
   set resfile=rsrc.rc
)
echo Using %resfile%
etc.

--> rsrc.rc  ;-)


(one might try to edit the Make-section in masm.ini, but it seems that for resource compiling only the placeholder $R is available)

buona sera, amico!

If you have access to a batch file, try this:

which one .bat file? ))

[MakeDefNoProject]

11=rsrc.res,O,$B\RC.EXE /v,rsrc.rc

15=rsrc.obj,O,$B\CVTRES.EXE,rsrc.res

here?

[Win32 App]
1=4,O,$B\RC.EXE /v,1
5=rsrc.obj,O,$B\CVTRES.EXE,rsrc.res
15=rsrc.obj,O,$B\CVTRES.EXE,rsrc.res

or something form here? )))

You're on the home terrain here. I'm a newbie with MASM.

[qWord]

OK, you are using RadASM 2.x!
Try your luck by replacing rsrc in the MakeDefNoProject section with $.

this problem has nothing to do with MASM.

It looks like that it accepts a file name instead of rsrc.rc now

But....

As you can see I'm getting an error when I'm trying to compile my resource file from Make>Compile RC. But.. if I want to compile project with Make>Go, it works!!! How it could be possible?!? ))

Another question, how I can change paths from the previous report to show on my files inside RadASM/Masm folder? For now I'm using one copy of masm32 in its own folder and another inside of RadASM/masm folder. My idea is to create a portable IDE envirovnment and that I can change its location.

[Ris]

I've found them into Environment Variables. That means, nothing from my completely portable RadASM folder )))

[qWord]

did you take a look into the help folder? - there is a documentation for ini-files (RadASMini.rtf).
Maybe you get it run as required.

regards, qWord

I took a short look on that. It is a description of Radasm.ini. I didn't mention anything crucial at 1st sight.
I still cannot resolve error occurred with rc.exe although I can compile program
