How to use resedit for intel fortran

[marigomen__ralph]

Hi,

Can anyone help me out on how to include the resource file generated by resedit into intel visual fortran?

I couldn't seem to make it work..

I tried making a dialog in resedit and then added the .rc and .h file in my solution in visual studio. 

I then added a custom build setup for resource.h using steve's guide below:

ResEdit should generate both a .rc and a .h. You will need to add both of those to your Fortran project and add a custom build step for the .rc:

1. Add Resource.h to your project using File>Add Existing Item....

2. Select the Resource.h file in the Solution View and the select View>Property Pages from the main menu bar.

3. Set the Command Line option to use the deftofd tool by entering:

   deftofd resource.h resource.fd

4. Set the Description option to Generating Fortran include file...

5. Set the Outputs option to resource.fd.

6. Click OK.

Problem is i couldn't compile my program successfuly. I always get the following error:

Error 1 fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt LINK

It would be nice if someone could post a complete guide for beginners in using resedit in intel visual fortran..

Thanks in advance. ^^

That doesn't sound to me like  a resource/resedit issue. Try doing a 'clean' and then a full 'rebuild' it sounds like an obkect file is corrupt.

As a matter of interest I assume the fortra fd must be could or else you would have had comple errors. Did the resource file compile OK also?

yeah.. it did compile OK. 

I attached my project file below for reference.

I downloaded and built your project, other than adding the include file path (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include) for windows.h as it was not default in my environment it built OK with no problems and it runs OK also.

I can't see any problem  did you do a clean? Or perhaps download your project into a new folder and build that to have a clean start. I think you may have some damaged files perhaps?

[marigomen__ralph]

Have tried doing a clean build and trying to create a new project but I'm still getting the same error..

I'm guessing something's wrong with my configuration in visual studio....

I am not perhaps the right person to help further on this is there any more info details of the specifics of the error, do a full build and post the build log perhaps?
