what's the difference??

[adaige]

My colleague and I are compiling the same source code to DLL. He successed and i failed.

we are using the same IDE and fortran compiler.

the difference i can see is:

1. the size of DLL are different, mine is a little bit smaller.

2. in my buildlog file, there is one section missing (marked with bold) comparing with my colleague's .

Here is my colleague's build log:

Build Log

> He successed and i failed.

There is nothing to support that statement in the two build logs (which I had to save as a .htm file and open in a browser, since I am not a good HTML interpreter myself).

Both of the logs show that a DLL was built with no error messages.

In your case, if the .RC file had been previously compiled to a .RES earlier, the build system would have skipped calling the resource compiler.
