Topic: windres.exe and UNC filenames

Hi All,

I normally work in a Mac environment but need to do some Windows programming.  I use Parallels to operate in a Windows XP environment.

I installed and run Simply Fortran 2.11 and all works fine except for when compiling a resource file.  It bombs on windres.exe.  I think the problem is that the path to my project is \ \psf\Home\Documents\MyData\projects\Burlington2014\csvinterp\interp.

any thoughts?

Thanks, Dave

Re: windres.exe and UNC filenames

Just figured it out.

Changed \ \psf\Home\Documents\MyData\projects\Burlington2014\csvinterp\interp

to

Z:\Documents\MyData\projects\Burlington2014\csvinterp\interp

And all is good.

Re: windres.exe and UNC filenames

Dave,

Glad you have it working now.  The resource compiler is probably the least "path-friendly" component of Simply Fortran's compiler stack.  This shortcoming is especially odd since the resource compiler is mostly only useful for Windows developers, yet the compiler itself fails with common Windows paths, such as those pointing at network shares.
