In a project, during the compilation, the resource-linking process fails with this error: [DCC Error] E2161 Error: RLINK32: Out of memory!.
The project includes a huge res file (about 400 Mb). The error is not triggered if the res file size doesn’t exceed 250 Mb.
At it’s only some RCDATA, I could keep the data in an external file but I would like to know if there is a workaround for this issue.
You can use an external resource linker in a post-build event (Project->Options->Build Events). Below is an example usage for ‘ResHacker‘ (which is able to do pretty much anything with the command line that its GUI can do).
The example adds the resources in icons.res which are not already in the executable and overwrites the executable. I have no idea if it chokes with your big resource, but you can try using other alternatives if it does.
