Question

I need to build a resource DLL from a supplied rc file. Here’s what I did upto Delphi 2007:

library ResourceTest;

{$R '..\..\src\Media\TestBitmaps.res' '..\..\src\Media\TestBitmaps.rc'}

{$R *.res}

begin
end.

Compiling this project would create the res file from the rc file and link it in the final DLL. In Delphi 2009 it doesn’t work anymore. It says the res file cannot be found. Can anyone suggest an alternative method as simple as the above?

Answer 1

In D2009 you add the RC files to the project directly, like this. See also Project->Resources. It’s different, but better, than prior versions.
